The famous Horne intake. Very rare. Long story about these in the Rodders Digest if I recall correctly... the guy who made them was working at Bell autoparts, before they were famous for making the helmet, and before they bought out Cragar. He cast his name into them for a short while before the company owners bought the rights to them from him and I forget what name they cast on them after that
Hot Rod Deluxe, May 2010 issue page 69 says Norm made it, and it was owned by Kaye Trapp, Hollywood studio photographer who used it as a push car for the Zueschel, Fuller, and Moody dragster

And a couple images of Roth's Excalibur and Tweedy Pie
all of these are from http://t-bucketworld.blogspot.com/ but the guy who put it on the web only had about 2 dozen posts total. 
I can't find where I pulled the above image from, Brandon Flannery took the photo, and says the image was probably from the HAMB / JalopyJournal
It's not like Gray wrote, (click on the image for a very large readable size) this wasn't a restoration, the Henway is a creation. A play on the old joke, what's a Henway... about 3 pounds.
