Flatheads....... lets see 'em!

39Truck.... sounds and looks *****in!!!!

 

If this thread doesn't make your mouth water I seriously doubt your claim of being a hot rodder. I'm sure there are more out there so keep posting flathead owners/fans.

Here's mine, original engine, hot rodded to a full house 276 in 1953, rebuilt in 2010. Now is 281 cubes, bored .145. 4 inch stroke, Isky springs, Manley valves, johnson lifters, Egge pistons, Potvin super 3/4, Edelbrock Heads and intake, Speedway and Melling pumps. Sounds good.

 

Heres a Falthead supercharged running on the test stand.
