I love the engine! Nice to see someone do a flathead and not get crazy with chrome headed nuts! Simple and clean, but still dressy, not gawdy.

 

looking great !

 

I'm building this one to sell, so I hope that I don't have by the time Boneville comes around!

. . . but I do have my 5W that I can drive out to Utah.

 

Oh boy that one is awesome. If your 5w is any indication the new one is going to be nothing less then cool.

 

Sweet nice work i wish i had youre attension to detail.

 

what wireing block did you use? is it a universal kit or just a block bought seperatly?

 

I tried out one of the Speedway 12 circuit harnesses, I wound up taking it half apart. It had fuses and wires for stuff like power antenna, power windows, a/c, etc. . .

Next time it's back to making my own harness.

 

I thought about the alternator, and went back and forth between painting it black, or just leaving it bare aluminum.

In the end, I thought it blended in better with the aluminum intake and heads if I just left it alone. . . and sometimes things look worse when you try to hard to hide them, painting it may have made it look worse in this case.




Brian,
Here's what a disguised alt looks like. It almost disappears. At least you didn't install a chrome one.
Your attention to detail is awesome.

 

That return spring is like an arrow pointing right to it!
