I love my flathead

[fuel pump]

I finally got to drive my ragtop wiht with the fresh Merc flathead in it and man is it nice http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif. It took us a while to get the MSD dissy all sorted out but now that it's tuned right is ever fun. When I got the car it had the a tired Ford flathead with truck heads on it no less. It was a real slug http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif So we took a Merc block and crank and added all the go fast goodies and was it ever worth it. Who needs a SBC anyway http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

I was checking out your link for pics... I had your 32 5W as my desktop image for months.... love that car.

I like the convertible... I was after the flatty pics when I saw the 32.

Alec,
That 32 is owned by a guy in Wisconsin now and shows up at most of the GGs events in this area. It is still my favorite car.

Very Cool Rich, I was wondering when the ragtop was gona come out again.

Hey Rich, anytime you wanna run 'em, I'll show ya that YOU need a SBC! (Even with my "little" motor!) http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Glad to hear you got it running right... You gonna have it at Donnies cruise tonight?

I don't know what it was about that car, I just like the way it looked. I think it was a combination of how clean and basic the paint was, yet it still stands out. Does that make sense? The only thing I didn't like was the SBC because they seem to find their way into all the bad ass Fords. I understand why, just don't like it. However, I liked how it was old school w/ the trips etc. I only wish Ford could've come out with a decent powered SB around the same time.

HRTH,
No it won't be in Midland this weekend. The old wiring is already torn out so we can put a Painless kit in it. I'll be in Midland Saturday with the c-dan though. Are you gonna be there Saturday?

Here is a new picture of the ragtop.

I'm jealous. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif

[Hot Rod To Hell]

Nope Rich. I'll be chillin' with the D-Town crew tomorrow. I was up there TONIGHT, and you weren't! I drove my not streetable chevy II up there... from Clio, and you couldn't even make it from CARO?? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Hey Rich, that's a nice ride. I don't think I'd ever have that top up.

Very sweet Rich..... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif

Wow, what a car. And I bet you run a electric fuel pump.

Yea, he runs an electric pump. I wanted to put in a hand pump on the dash when I put the motor in so he could pretend he was at Bonneville or the drags but the man has no sense of adventure. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
