You might do better reproducing the Prewar HC heads for the V-12 and Senior Eights.

Those motors benefit from the higher compression and aluminum by running cooler. Especially the V-12 which has the thermal efficiency of a mobile furnace. As well, most of the original heads are shot.

While you are at it, reproduction oil pump housings might sell well for all makes of cars given those old pumps are all shot. But that would require doing cast iron.
