On the two 1954 Convertibles, both look nice but each seem to have anomalies, though minor.

The first, of course, has a cast iron head when I believe it's a 359 that should have an aluminum head. Not uncommon but for a restoration one would have expected the proper head which the text does say it has but the photos show a cast iron head.

However, the second I can't figure out how what I see is possible as the oil breather on the filler is wrong and what I can't figure out is how it is sitting at such a peculiar angle. The pipe is straight, attached to an angled hole on the side of the crankcase cover so it should be angled away from the engine! I saw this photo before and wondered the same thing so any ideas? It stands out like a sore thumb.
