Given the geographic location, we might think that this head was built for an engine running on a circle track -- "stock" cars or "jalopies" -- so it had to hold water, at least for more than a few minutes.
Are those some kind of freeze plugs in the intake ports?
Surely this head is worth disassembling to see how it was done and how the head might flow. It would be interesting to learn how it ran, and if it did, how well. Whoever attempted this conversion was thinking, and like many old-time racers, he may have had more ideas and skill than money.
God's Peace to you.
