Friend of a friend knows someone who works at Ross, so maybe I'll find out that way.

Could be. I looked at the link: http://www.rossal.com/gallery.htmlI see an Indy intake on their website as well as maybe a BB Chevy head? I don't see a Hemi head but if they can cast BBC heads then they can do Hemi heads. The logo on their website kind of looks like the casting mark that you posted. Sometimes if you Google the casting mark you can find more info.

Yeah I have a hunch, that almost has to be it. Still waiting for friend of a friend to hopefully reply on social media. Ross seems to have been around long enough to have done that entire run from late '70s to just before edelbrock was given the business.
But...E heads came from different tools...And guess what normal procedure is for tools that aren't used anymore...Who gets to store them indefinitely?

Edelbrock owns its own foundry. They don't need to go outside.
R. I like scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese.

Hi Cab, that's Buddy Bar in Southgate. Staggered "BB" symbol, and yes they did some work for Edelbrock well as MP (most of the b/rb/la intakes during the "M1" marketing time period), and plenty of others. http://www.buddybarcasting.com/
