So what your saying is the playing field is now level.... Flathead against flathead.... No OHV conversions.
Just sayin....

That T is rad! Cant wait to see it on the beach Mr. Model T!

 

that's kinda like comparing a 76 chevy truck 160Hp 350 to a 350HP 327 vette motor. They're both small blocks, right?

Having seen what he's got in store for you guys....well... you better bring some big sticks...

 

I've got a bucket of sand right here. My plan is to spread it out on the back patio, break out the kiddie pool, and play with my hot wheels.

 

Announcing Driver....Mr. Clayton Paddison, @MrModelT from Vancouver, Washington in his '27 T
Lowered 9" front and rear, and stretched 6.5" it's a 40's dirt tracker that sat from the 50's until young Clay, (his first build) brought it back to life in '06.
He'll be rolling those bones with a '27 T block, bored .080” over
’27 T crank (polished and balanced)
Custom aluminum pistons
Oversized hardened valves
Full-race cam (with Isky 3/4 race 59A V8 grind) *might be the same as a 400jr
Burns 2x2 intake with Twin Stromberg 81 carbs
65 HP (esitmated)
Chicago Mark-E Auxiliary Overdrive.
High-compression Aluminum head
The pacific northwest is bringing it east side! Go get em Clayton!
