Hot Rods JRIPPER...Gets His ROADSTER On The ROAD...FLATHEAD Beauty enclosed!!!!

thanks all for the kind words, the fan is just a mechanical fan off a 2 brush gen. the one in the pics was just to spin pumps while the other was being rebuilt. the engine is a 59 ab factory relieve block. 3 3/8 x 4 stock valves, potvin 3/8 cam nothing really too radical. reds headers with 1 3/4 pipe all the way out. 39 trans with 40 columbia rear.

the seat riser was cut down to the lip then bolted down, i will try to get a pic of the column drop and left side of engine here in a few.

i bought this car about 5 years ago. it was a restored stocker in 1970. when i got it it had a b motor, juice brakes and the columbia thats in it now. i overheated the b going to chrr and parked it. i have SLOWLY in the past 3 years made it what it is today..

 

now thats trolling for ******s in style!!

 

requested pics.. if needed i could take some better ones..

 

Not to take over thread or change the subject but i was on the phone with my son while watching this video and out of know where he says "Dad that sounds like a flathead hotrod" he is only six and i am soooo proud!!!

Also very cool car ... thanks for the video

 

that is awesome...

 

Good news, hows that motor doing this time?

 

Those video's gave me goose bumps...love it!!

 

so far so good.. see you sunday.

 

hmmm, factory relieved? How can you tell if its factory or not? When we pulled the heads on my 59AB, it had a relieved block also. Its totally stock too.

 

to my knowledge most post war blocks are..
