Tom Hanna Estate auction, fabricator historical speed stash

That was an impressive amount of equipment for a one man operation (I think), just how many cordless tools does a guy need? And that shoe collection! Some pretty good money for a lot of things but a few bargains in the mix.
Does anyone know what the heck the 502 Thunder DOHC stuff is? All I could find Googling was a Valley Head Service 32 valve setup for a BB Chev but it uses forked rockers and the cam in the block. The blocks in the auction seem to have lifter bores but all four cams are also listed and that block doesn't appear to be a BB Chev design.

I met him at Bakersfield at the CHRR. Saw the red (was blue before) dragster there. He struck me as a real perfectionist. The type that would mow his lawn, then measure each blade of grass and if there was .001" difference in any , mow it again!
