On Old 110-M direct connection hemi heads,
They have this foundry mark. I haven't been able to
Identify it yet. Is this RC for Ross Castings, or some other?

Right, or Maybe Ram Charger (?) smile

I'd read about Ross doing them a long time ago, looks like they still do some work for Indy and others. Just something I pay attention to and good to know in the very unlikely event I ever go into any kind of parts business where I'm not working for someone else wink

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.html

I 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.

I was thinking Buddy Boy, formally Alcoa, in Long Beach did all of the Edlebrocks castings confused

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.
