According to Hot Rod magazine, there were 8 sets of Ardun heads made. http://blogs.hotrod.com/2013-grand-national-roadster-show-americas-most-beautiful-roadster-contenders-45081.html#axzz2J6PkZsPc
Uh Oh.... according to Bangshift, 50 sets were made. http://bangshift.com/blog/watch-an-ardun-headed-flathead-churn-out-400hp-6200-rpm-on-the-chassis-dyno.html
Did Hot Rod believe Mumford? Or go with what they heard? Oooof. That's not good to blow off the fact checking when you (Hot Rod Magazine) are the reputable expert in all things hot rodding.
the Salem Speedshop has one http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/hrdp_0901_1950_salem_speed_shop_glenn_volz/viewall.html,
the Bean bandits have one in their bellytanker http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/bean-bandit-crew-brought-belly-tanker.html ,
Phil Sylva's hot rod has one http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2012/03/paul-sylvas-roadster-painted-and.html
the Allard J2X http://stevemckelvie.wordpress.com/2012/09/15/allard-j2x-with-ardun-heads-on-a-ford-flathead-v8/
and 2 original sets in Norway, http://www.lutheransonline.com/servlet/lo_ProcServ/dbpage=page&mode=display&gid=00032000001081239920917940&pg=00032000001081239921093624
There are only 2 other original sets out there?
You can be sure the Allard, the Bean Bandits, the Salem Speed Shop, and the Sylva hot rod are all originals... the swapmeet engine, the shiny ones at El Mirage, and Mumfords might be new http://www.autoweek.com/article/20130125/CARNEWS/130129848 , one set on the 55 thousand dollar swapmeet engine stand motor http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2010/06/great-stuff-in-swap-meet-area-at-la.html
and the shiny ones I photographed at El Mirage http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/05/may-14-2011-at-el-mirage-dry-lakes.html
According to the Bangshift post, the original run was 50, the C&T company made a 2nd batch, and in the 90's another limited run was made by another company
