So you might want to read this thread first for the whole story then come back to this one...

Now that you have read that thread I will just start posting pictures.
It may not look like much but this little "101" stamping means that this is in fact the first Hilborn unit made for a slant. It is also the same one that was "loaned" out to the Dragmaster team and ran on the Dragmaster Dart Six rail in 1964.
Engine #1 "The red one"...
This engine was run in a Porsche sometime in the 60's or 70's in the Seattle/Oregon area, unfortunately that is about all I know. This engine was an added bonus and came with the "Blue engine" (the same one that was in the 56 Alpha that you read about in the linked post). This engine ran the 3 Weber 45's, Isky 505-A cam, Joe Hunt magneto, 8" VW clutch and a dry sump system. It looks like it had a recent rebuild and ran a bit before it was stored without the head on for 45 odd years.
So far I have torn down the "red engine" and gotten it ready to go to the machine shop. As soon as the "blue engine" is ready they will both go to get tanked, magged, and blasted. The heads (I will be posting pics of them tomorrow after work) will get the same treatment but also get checked to see what they flow. Both heads have been fully ported and big valves installed.
Here is the link to all the pictures (there are a lot!), they loaded backwards off my phone so start out on page #5 and just work your way up to page #1.
