Features RARE flathead heads Let´s see some

Me Too. '37 finned heads have to be really hard to find.

 

Me too....when I had the itch to build a flathead, I had planned on a set of the "Denver" or Weiand "Cheater" heads, as they would just look bitchin' all polished up....no finned head looks better IMO. Unless ya count Neal's as finned....

 

Early Smith heads, they look great but didn't work very good.

 

Some more of mine.

I agree, Neal's motor is simply AMAZING. Simple and straightforward = Beauty.

I've seen pictures of those Kong Jackson twin plug heads before. THAT motor is an engineering marvel. There could be a thread just about that motor.

I'd like to see some examples of EVANS heads. Bill Neikamp used them on his original roadster. For those of us who dream of building a Neikamp clone, EVANS heads would be needed for the motor. Jake Jacobs ended up putting Edelbrock heads on the restored car, if I remember correctly.

 

Here is my EVANS rare ore not but they are cool

 

Tattersfield...............z

Got a PM and sob story from a member that he needed these for his project . Sold to this HAMB member in Reno NV. for a HAMB buddy price , even paid the shipping . He listed and sold on eBay less than 2 weeks later for double what he paid me .............

 

By no means as rare as the rest here, but I've just picked up a pair of NOS Canadian 8BA heads (all casting flash still on them,happy?, you bet!)

 

Notice how the Lightening (by Wayne Boardman from LA), Thickstun (posted by Duster Swe) and the Tattersfield all share the same basic design with regards to the casting design around the lower studs. Thickstun did this to allow the use of the original studs. The Tattersfield head is just the later version of the earlier Thickstun. The Lightening head is either a copy, or from the same modified pattern. I have also seen in a catalog a head just like the Lightening, but with the cast name HOT ROD. Does anyone have a set?

 

ALLSTATE and the SPEEDWAY heads same form

 

Banger Flatheads







these aren't my pictures. they were on craigslist. someone wanting information.

 

Not a Ford and not a V8 but it is a flathead and it is extremely rare.

Here are some GRANCOR (Andy Granatelli) heads and intake on our 31. I have not seen another set in person. If I was home on the West Coast I'm sure I would have...

 

My GRANCOR, same form like the edelbrock ?

 

WOW!!! Some nice eye candy! Lets see some more

 

Edmunds and Edmunds Customs not the same form. Does any know when those was made.

 

Not sure what these are. Possibly Allstate or Hotten & Sullivan.

 

DAAAAM those are cool, super nice pair.

 

I have nothing to add, other than saying this is the best thread on here lately! Thanks so much fellas.

 

i loooove flatheads

 

Some of my reserve engine. One WEIAND and FENTON my not the most rare but still nice heads.

 

Wilson & Woods

 

Heres mine; rare ? yes in that they are not cracked, chipped , stripped, warped or repopped

 

Or look up the Hot rod revolution (2009) and see Ken Furhmans heads on his "best in class 47 oakland RS" rod ( they have two plugs per cyl plush two nash distrib's)

 

not rare but clean and simple,21stud Canadian alluminium heads

 

Man, could be. Those look real close. If you look at my photo, near the TATE in ALLSTATE, you can see what looks like it could be a die-line, where the ALLSTATE would have been inserted into the form.

Cool.

`great head` thread
I bought a nice set of the 8ba sharp heads back in 79 or 80?
at the rose bowl back when nobody wanted any of that flathead crap!
I miss those days still running them today and there still working great

 

Here is my contribution to this thread. These Evans heads are for a '37 21 stud flathead. I think quite rare.

 

Threads like this are why I love the HAMB!
