Check out this flathead OHC conversion

While being very productive at work, I was looking at the photos on the AHRF website. Check out this crazy flathead OHC conversion. Does anyone know what those rods are for coming out of the v-drive dizzy mount?

Enjoy

 

What the heck happened? The picture won't show.

Maybe it's copyright protected. Sorry guys. It showed that it loaded up.

 

In my best Seargent Shultz voice: " I see nothing, nothing!"

 

Just posta link to the site That you saw it at and maybe some one will post pics.

 

Damn it! I can't get it to work.

OK- here is where you can find it. Under picture gallary, go to "Under the hood" Click on engines. You'll see it on pg. 1 at the bottom left hand corner.

There is an Isky/Ansen banner in the back. Really wild stuff.

Sorry about this guys...

That's a DOHC conversion ... the rods are driving the cams.

 

Says it's a Davies.

 

OHC, correct. Ah, yes no belt or chain. Some sort of gear drive in there?

 

The "rods" are the drive for the cams

 

If its the engine I remember, there's a sort of box replacing the distributor containing the 90 degree gears turning the shafts, running up to more bevel gears driving cams...kinda like Crosley, only from original cam location instead of crank. Could not find my way to right pic--the engine I'm thinking of is pictured in some of the 1952 vintage flathead books, Huntington or Fisher.

 

1943 Ford faqctory DOHC cam drive for one side and heads. And you thought this was new stuff.

 

You thinking of moving into a larger displacement cl***, Rich??

 

Rich:

Wow, neat stuff... Any more "toys" tucked away in that pile?

 

Bruce- If they ever get a AA/VGas cl***, maybe. banjo-Lots of Plymouth and Dodge parts. Not much Ford.

 

So--do you have a multi-Chrysler Sherman engine in stock??

 

Factory? For what application? Or was this experimental only?

 

verrry interesting...

 

^^ awesome

 

It was high production...used in a 4-p***enger off road vehicle, mostly in export applications in European and later Korean markets. Later served as the basis for the early startup of the Israeli vehicle industry...
Really.

 

A little easier look

 

Bruce:

Damn! How do you know all this stuff?

 

This page shows some nearly 10 year old Ford off-road coupes with sporty custom paint at a car show in Korea:

Bruce-No multi banks. three GAAs. I understand some were also exported to Pacific locations.

 

The Pacific ones generally had the Deluxe Cigar Lighter option package, which could incinerate a cigar and its owner at 300 yards!

 

During the 1960s, several large farm operations in S.E. Idaho ran these V8s on natural gas ... pumping water to thousands of acres that couldn't be flood irrigated. They ran non-stop from April until
September, oil changes & maintainance done while on the line. I recall hearing they were factory rated at 500 HP ...

 

Anyone have other pictures of Davies heads?
