 Of the many aftermarket manufacturers that offered speed equipment
for the Ford Model T four-cylinder engine, Roof is one of the better
known and longest lasting, remaining in business through to the post-war
years. This Roof OHV Model T cylinder head
for sale on Hemmings.com appears to be typical of the 16-valve design
that got Robert Roof into the performance aftermarket business and
appears to be a viable candidate for installation on a Model T engine
rather than for a static display. From the seller's description:
 "Complete Roof Laurel 16-valve OHV conversion cylinder
head for Ford Model T. Believed to be complete with rocker assembly,
pushrods, spacers, intake and exhaust manifolds. Stored in a
climate-controlled room since 1948. Cylinder head and manifolds were
inspected, checked for straightness, pressure tested for cracks by a
reputable machine shop, B&M Machining in Brooklyn, CT. Machine shop
report is available via email to interested buyers. I have valves and
springs, but am not sure they are for this application. Also not sure
that pushrods are correct, but the head, rocker assembly and manifolds
are correct, unmolested and in serviceable condition. I am told the
valves, springs and pushrods can be sourced elsewhere, if needed."
