British sports car that used the Ford flathead, probably personalized the heads with their name.

 

they had heads and intakes. You see some sets floating around over here.

 

How about some pics for those of us who have never seen them, or are too old to remember that we maybe have seen them some time in the distant past.

 

Allard, speed EQT, sorry don't know the history, but there ace, just make sure they fit your flatty!

 

everyone has a set of Sharp heads, but a set of Allards would be ***s! great find.

Allard was building obscence hotrods that would even make carroll shelby cringe and doing it 10 years earlier.

 

They also did 21 stud non-pump in heads for the 37 style block. Pity they're not too common as we've loads of 21 stud blocks here...

 

Are they like this?

 

Here are some in their original home with the matching intake ...

 

they are exactly the same ,not sure if my picture came up ,new to this.Thanks

 

What are the production numbers on allard preformance parts for flatheads?

Are those Bren carrier carbs in that pic?

 

I believe that Allard cars had the flatheads and later Cadillacs installed in their shop in NYC. The cars came from England w/o engines, and probably w/o trans.

And if you have ever seen an Allard J2 go around a corner you'ld know why. All the wheels seem to point in different directions at the same time!

can't imagine that there would be a lot of 'em floating around. Sydney seemed to like to go with what ever the most commo hottest motor was and stuff it in his cars. When flatty's were it (he used them), followed by 331's caddys and hemi's. If you get a chance go to a vintage race when someone is enthusuastically riding in a Allard, it is quite a site to see. I don't think you can actually drive an Allard.

By 1959 when production ceased due to financial difficulties, only 1908 Allards had been built. total.

 

Uh,Uh------------I got $200 set aside for those--LOL
