49 ford flathead engine model

Got this model info this morning and thought I would pass it on to all the flathead guys. 1949 Ford flathead engine model. Hawk brand $19.95 .Got the info from Amazon .com ,my son bought some stereo equipment from them and now gets regular flyers on new products. Thought I would pass it on to the Ford guys. Just shows all Chevy guys aren't all that bad.Looks like a pretty descent model.

 

49? Looks like an earlier model to me. The image on the box looks to have an extended bell and a front mount distributor. The exhaust manifolds also appear to be incorrect. Plus what's with the Merc on the box cover? I don't think I would buy anything from someone so prone to error.

 

Paid $15 for mine at Hobby Lobby off of the discount rack

 

Looks good if you ignore the box. It is a 59a style engine. The fault is with the sales guys, not the designer/manufacturer.

 

Probably swap the intake and heads, fab up some headers and run a T5 anyway...



Looks like they swapped the Merc for a shoebox.

 

Dang Its got to where everything you post on the Hamb anymore somebody has to critisize it. Nobody asked anybody to buy it,just passing along the info.

 

I don't really care about the errors, I have real flatties to play with. I'd stick one of these on my shelf, and will pick one up if I see one.

They also have a "'48" flattie that is pre-assembled...



And a version with the rare aftermarket see-through heads...

 

Cool kit, what scale is it? and thank you for sharing.

 

Ford, Mercury, same shit.

 

in a couple years when the SBC model comes out those models will all be obsolete and underpowered.

 

what's that sound like?

 

Thanks for the info

 

I agree with you. It almost makes you not want to post anything anymore.
I appreciate you taking the time to post this.

 

They already have a model of a small block chevy, very similar to this one, but it's the only one you can purchase with food stamps.

 

... and rebuild with a hammer & a flatblade screwdriver .
