Not your fathers Flathead *BREAKS RECORD*

My buddy Kenny is heading to the Salt. He's going after the flathead record in his class. 2 years ago he missed it by a few MPH.. This year he's determined, new car, fresh motor.
The record is 154 on gas... 160 with Nitrous. If you see Macuch Racing stop and say HI. He's doing it with himself and his two sons Matt and Dan, and a lot of support in the back ground.

 

what a beauty! i can't wait to take a closer look.

 

A brutal beauty. Remember to post some photos of it in action on the salt.

 

Looks great. Interesting headers. What is the theory behind making them loop around like that ?

equal length and exit where they needed too. ( no room underneath )

 

If I get sent some I'll post em, unfortunately I am not going.

 

I knew they had to be done that way for some good reason, not just cosmetic. That makes sense.

Don

 

What is the displacement?

 

Brutal beauty - excellent desciption and I'll second it!

Good luck Kenny. I know he has put a lot of thought into the motor and the car is outstanding.

Sweet mother!!! What a wonderful obsession we all have....some more so than others! Thatsthekind of mill you could just pull up a lawn chair, crack a cold one and just admire it! Good luck!

 

really cool!

 

Fencepost You should have left work and listened to that thing come to life today. WOW!!!! is all I can say. I took a video with my phone if I figure out how to post it I will. I was told it is not possible to make 300hp out of a flathead with out a blower I call BS to that wives tale. No N.O.S will be needed to make that happen . what a Monster.

 

That's Sweet!!!

 

That car truly has the WOW factor!
Hope your friend succeeds in his record breaking runs.
God Speed

It's the new cool, man - I love it!

 

WOW!

I wanna hear it run!

 

one bad looking flatty,good luck

 

Holy S#$@ that is cool!

 

Wow, impressive. Cool flathead for sure.
I'd like to know how they get enough airflow thru an unblown flathead to be able to use that much carburation!

 

I know I know.. but managment frowns upon it.. Post the video or send it to me...

BTW who the F are you? LOL

 

Way to go Ken! Thanks for the update Doug!

 

I was standing next to ken when he called you LOL.


try this link hope it works. click on the pic

 

Wow great job guys!!!!!................go get um!!

 

Looks like a great job, tell your friends carbon monoxide builds up in your system to the point where it does not take much of it to make you sick. They need to either get an evacuation system or run it out in the open, not in the shop.

 

There is plenty of ventilation in his shop. He's been at it a long time. Thanks for your concern.

Doug

 

Thanks for the video reekie6. Motor sounds great. Talked to Kenny today, he's on his way to Bonneville. Best of luck!

 

What size carbs are those? Boy they look huge for a flattie !! NEAT !! NEAT!!
