Heres pics of my new flathead fresh from the machine shop. It is an 8BA with 59AB heads, early timing cover and waterpumps. Running an early Grancor intake. The block is .125 with a 4in crank. Enjoy!

That looks sweet Sweats.
What's it going in?

 

Excellent!!
Wasn't sure wether to paint mine black, but now i've seen yours I think I will!
Not that I'm copying or anything.....

 

We were surprised ourselfs with the black motor and the crome acorns giving just right amount of flash,I say paint away!!!. This is going in my 29 on duece rails. All fired up to get going on it even more

 

My pants are getting tight, excuse me while I go to the restroom to... um.... I'm just going to the restroom.

I'm going to go with the 8ba heads and an Edmunds 2x2 on mine... someday.

 

Looks sweet man, very nice

 

nice man i like

 

Oh baby! That's a sweet lookin mill! Nice job. I wish mine looked like that.

 

Nice mill Sweats.

 

Man, why did you go and post those pics. I can feel a re-paint on my flatty coming up. Damn, that looks cool.

 

hahaha because I am cool like that.

 

The motor is looking sweet. Isn't it nice when all the pieces are at least in ythe same building?

Good luck and I will be calling you...

Post that baby in the "coolest looking V8's" thread, it deserves a spot there!

 

***** looking good. Hey throw some thrash on that floor it's to clean.Hey you don't have any extra 29 body parts laying around do you.

 

Very Nice Sweats!! The 29 is going to be so sweet.

Black color steel heads with Acorn Nuts and an Intake is what my Merc's flatty will look like.

 

Morning Lloyd whats shaking up your way.

 

Good Morning Grinder!! I am going to get my *** out in the garage, and start welding on my shoebox.

I just need to stop staring at Sweats' Flatty first!! Damn it looks good.

 

I'm offering a 25 cent peep show outta the garage..hahahaahah

 

Great lookin' engine. It' really a good idea to get the engine ready early in the project. Wanting to hear it run is great incentive to get the rest of the car finished.

 

Looks great!

 

I am getting ready to start ***embling my 8BA.
Question.... Why did you install an early timing cover???
Space issues with the early pumps are just for looks??
Yours looks great!

 

Really i nice example.
Good work.

Small question though.
How are you going to solve the crankase ventilation?

 

I went with the early pumps and timing cover because of the space issue, I felt cutting into the front crossmember(its a gennie duece frame) was not the thing to do, and I have allways liked the look of the early blocks.

 

with the ventalation I'm in the process doing that right now, what I came up with is taking the stock fuel pump tower,turing it around, I'm using an electric pump, and attaching the down draft tube there, I do not have a problem with PCV valve I just prefer to not drill into a nice early intake

 

Nice job Eric, but that's an engine, not a motor.
Your Singer sewing machine has a motor.

 

Dude looks real good....now I just gotta get to my machinists and kick his *** to finish the machining on mine so I can put it together....
