Too cool. It will be fun to watch people walk by twenty sbc's to get to your car. Rusty.

 

Very cool! I love different motors. That's why my son's sticking with the flat head 8 in his Pontiac.

 

Nice work!

Fun to se some flathead six in model A. Here is a pick from a project; a friend of me is working at.

Got any specs on the motor?

 

I thought you were running a corvair motor from the title...

Good looking roadster.

 

The block is a 53 Desoto bored .040 with a chrome crank. A mid range "street" cam and a Chrysler "spitfire" head milled .070. A vintage Edmunds dual intake sports Rochester carbs.....more at www.msnusers.com/streetroadster bigticket

 

Keep us posted. I love those odd ball engines.

V8's are just a passing fad anyway.

 

How hard is it to find speed parts for those mills? My friend has a '51 he's restoring stock-I gotta talk him into making a rod or kustom out of it

the stuff is not easy to find although.offenhauser still makes a dual intake for the smaller (ply/dodge) block. Go to the P15-D24 forum and ask around...lots of guys there to help....bigticket

 

I know "cute" is not a proper term for a hot rod, but that's what that is...

 

Cool looking roadster and I love the engine choice.

 

something cool about one exhuast pipe comin out the side...looks good...what kinda power does that thing make...

 

Flat 6's rule!!!!! Looks good.

Now, if I could just find a head for that olds....

 

Sweet! I'm getting there too. Still hope to have her on the road by August. I just got this manifold custom made from MOOSE. 49 Chrysler Spitfire, carter carbs.
