Injected Ardun spotted at Cedar Point

I saw this a few weeks ago while taking a break from watching my 4 year old enjoy the ack ack ack rides. I doubt it's real but who knows? Neat anyhow. I didn't get a pic of the whole car but I think it had radirs and pie crusts. Cedar Point is an amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio. This is a permanent display car.

 

Hard to see details in the shadows, but why do the plug wires go to the back of the engine?

 

Not sure, I didn't pay attention. It was a flathead block though. I'll be back up there in a few weeks...

 

It's still there! I don't know enough about flatheads or arduns to know if it's real, but it did thunk it with my knuckle it is aluminum. Anybody have the story on this thing?

 

Early style water outlets too.

 

I think I remember a company making Ardun head covers

 

I'll try to get better pics tomorrow

 

Thought Ford flatheads had Siamese exhaust ports, 3 tubes ?

A Ardun converts a flathead to OHV.Doesn,t use the stock exhaust ports

 

Fiberglass covers? I used to have a set. It just has that look to me.

 

Thanks, never noticed that.

 

It's defiantly an aluminum head, distributor in the rear and a mid sump oil pan. I'll upload pics when I get home.

 

Looks awfully similar to this fake Ardun I spotted at Back to the 50's a few years ago. SBC with Ardun look-a-like valve / head covers. Kind of disgusting if you ask me.

 

Saw one at the NSRA show in Vancouver last year....fake...its an SBC.

 

definitely not sbc, i said i didn't know flat
heads but i DO know chebys

 

That car has been there for a few years. Always a highlight to check out at the "amazement park"!

 

Kind of looks like a 337 Lincoln Flathead. Distributor is in the right spot, but I have never heard of anyone putting a set of Ardun heads on one.

 

. I remember this car from long ago at Cedar Point. I would like to see this on the road again

 

STILL THERE! Sure seems like a waste

 

They made a 24 stud 239cui flathead in Germany with the disrtributor in the back. You find one at You tube under Koln flathead V8
