Tight squeeze .. Out with the old...



my 37 In with the new..






In my 34...

 

Man, alot of cool stuff on this thread!

Montechris........yes, I built the headers. This car was a very low budget project so I just used some exhaust tubing I scrounged and some U bends left over from some other project. I have some baffles in there but they don't do much. I need to work on them a little.

 

Here's mine 59ab with 4 97's . Proud to run a generator

 

Hey Kev that fuel block is a work of art. Nice headers also.

 

Here's mine...its bored .30 over and im still waiting on my navarro intake from H&H...its gonna be topped off by 3-97s and edmunds air cleaners.

 

Bttt

 

I can dream can't I?????

 

If I have done it right, this is mine. I am now building a blower flatty to replace it this winter.

Fourdy

 

any more flathead 6 pics???

 

my so dirty blown flathead...... =

 

Stocker. Rebuilt this 5 years ago? blur. anyway a boat was owning my life and I have to say this little engine kept me sane and attached to what we love. It was free with a truck that someone on here bought for a 12 pack Those summer evenings learning these engines was a lot of fun. Just not my thing as big hp is more readily available. They are IMHO the nicest looking engines next to the hemi's, especially like those posted here. I must have done OK because I sold it to a guy in the Netherlands and received no complaints Know what? wish I had kept it.

 

and. That fuel block!!! talk!!! please...as was said, a work of art.

 

The fuel block is made from the handle of a tailpipe sniffer from an old Sun tune up machine. There was a thread about it on here a long time ago, does anybody have a link? I used it because I liked the ray gun look and it was a low buck way to get some finned aluminum on my low budget rpu. It really gets people guessing.

 

Can never be to many flathead threads.

Here is what were putting in my dads coupe.

Thickstun PM7 with 97's, Weiand heads, Offy adapter for a Chevy four speed, and other neat little things hanging on it.


Here is a picture of whats in my sedan.

It now has a Fenton intake with duel 97's, fully balanced with **** crank, and a Vertex Magneto

 

Here's my stanley steamer fitted with "traditional" Efi.

Let the name-calling begin........

 

I like it.

 

Just a "little" flathead mill.

canadian!

will that do from a mexican?

 

Not as nice as some on here, but it runs good.

 

This is a 40 big truck engine in a 29 ford

 

Going on what you've achieved so far with your re-birth, I spose you're in a position to call me anything!

With the money I've spent on it I wish I stuck with a couple of old leaky 94's. Thanks for not bagging me senseless.

 

As somone who owns a flathead with a couple of leaky 94's, I'm sure you will be much happier in the long run!!!

Danny

 

Thanks Danny, my wife feels a whole lot better now!

It won't make Goulburn but hopefully I'll have it finished for the next Nationals in Geelong - you can drive. Oh, and it's on airbags so it shouldn't be too......BROOTAL

Bwaaaaahahahahahahah

 

Here mine a 46 59L...
Runs OK , but tends to overheat. Hope to have it dialed in by summer...

 

Mine, needs a spring cleaning.



Navarro heads, Tickstun intake, Isky cam. Just built some new headers for it too.

 

The current state of my flatty; 4" crank, original Thickston intake, custom ground cam and '39 trans in a '29 tudor.

 

Flower's .040" over 8BA, with a little Isky cam & kit, otherwise just balanced and blueprinted. The heads and intake are powder coated.

 

Cyclone flatheads from Cyclone Kevin (metal finish by me). Sweeeetness.
