    Here are mine: 1952 Ford truck motor, came with EAC heads, Offenhauser 2x2 intake, dual Holley 94s, 1948 3 speed trans, adjustable lifters, full flow oiling, Mallory dual point and hopefully a new camshaft soon! It powers my Model A framed T bucket.

    Second is the 226 flathead in my 1950 Ford. May be switching to a Holley 94 since the stock one barrel is shot, then split exhaust and maybe some an aluminum head if I can find one, otherwise an overdrive will be the only other changes. Also currently 6v and that will stay until I rewire everything.

    I have seen your T running around town before...nice looking rig! ...of course every time I did, I was in the modern "grocery getter".

    Maybe this summer we'll cross paths while I'm in my T. :D

    [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I've never owned a car with a flathead but, one of my dream cars is a '32 five window (I know, join the crowd). It would have to be equipped with a flathead with three deuces, Maybe even with them perched on top of a blower. It would have to be done up in a 50's style. You guys are really making it hard for me. Maybe if I refinance the house and sell a motorcycle.................[/FONT]

    Those would most likely have been Arduns. (Note the capped stock exhaust ports)
