I recently picked up this 32 and had a couple buddies come check it out seems to have been built in the 40s based on the way things were done I was told the car was built in europe by a soldier then brought back to the states my only question is where can i find some alluminum heads to fit this european flathead? Anybody?
the heads should be the same. if you wanted to hop it up alittle clay it and then shave them down to bump your compression. way cooler than a new set of fins!
Not 100% but im thinking England because theres a few things that say England on em and its an original RHD!
Those heads appear to be the regular old 21-stud REPLACEMENT heads with the firing order on them. I'd leave them in place. Great car as-is! The chop is "righteous". DD
Dude that is awesome!! It looks like it has more than a few stories to tell.. Stoked for you bro. Take a video of it running!!
Cool car. I'm guessing the doors must have been off once upon a time and stripped, and left to rust again. Interested to see what your plans are.
OMG Don't cahnge those heads MAN! I'll be in the bathroom after seeing that thing if ya know what I mean lol
If you change the heads look for some original early finned heads with lots of patina, but hold on to those heads in case you want to sell the car,that way all the original history goes with it!
That was my plan.... But ive noticed it seems all the 21 stud heads ive seen have the thermostat housings in the front of the head not in the middle of the head like these maybe im just not finding early heads?
lol! its already running Bob its a driver.... if i knew how to record and post a video i would.... Damn it! I need to learn
