Hot Rods Hey Flathead Guys

I just picked up an 8ba, that was built years ago, that's been bored .060, has Johnson adjustable Lifters, and the guy I bought it from, said the previous owner said it had a Mickey Thompson Crank (?). Don't know what to think about this! Did Mickey Thompson do any Flathead stuff? Did he put his name on another manufacturers Cranks? Just curious! Any info would be appreciated!!

 

Sounds interesting! maybe a welded stroker??I don't think Mickey Thompson slept looking back at his achievements.This will be interesting,C T strokers??

 

I have no clue! I'm gonna pull the pan off when I get a chance, and see if it reveals anything.
Thanks

 

Mickey Thompson DID make rods and pistons for the flathead, so I guess there may be some limited amounts of cranks out there as well. He did race several cars with Mercury flatheads in them around 1952 at the flats.

 

Please let us know what you find. I'd assume if it is a MT crank, it's not stock stroke.

 

Thanks for the info, whenever I get a chance to pull the Pan, I'll post what I find!
