Thanks Carl! I had a blast.... and didn't even get out of my recliner!! That blown flatty really hauls. Good to be you!
Hey Carl - great stuff . . . loved the video! Your last pass was a good one - got some air in the front! Hey I noticed the rear cylinder on the camera side - looks like it is pumping a bit of oil? You might want to do a leakdown on it . . . Or . . . just run the shit out of it and keep having fun!
see post 1736 Yea Dale there is something going on there with cyl 4, it will require some detective work from me but as of the moment I still haven't unpacked from Eagle. Been moving my 96 year old father in law in with us. That's been taking up all my time. And I am still on a Eagle high my right foot will not stop stomping down...........

Thanks again Carl, Great stuff,, Watching it this AM before work, Beth yells from the bathroom ,,Hey that sounds like our car,, She of course had to come out and watch, She getting a ear for flatties,,,Cool shots!!!
Good luck with that Carl - taking on the challange of bringing your father in law into your house is quite the commitment and I applaud you for it. You guys will do well - take care.
Thanks Dale it sure is a lot of work but we think its worth it..........oh ordered the 1 to 1 pulley ha ha gonna have some fun with it on the quarter!!! Don't think I will attempt 10% overdrive though as I really don,t want to put too much pressure on the crank............will let ya know how TnT goes!!! Hey Tim get Beth out there and run that thing!!!!!
Hey Carl - noticed that you blew a head gasket - what type of head gaskets are you running? I've decided to try the Cometic MLS gaskets on my latest flathead (not boosted though) - they work really well on boosted modern engines and they make them in many thicknesses for flatheads. They are twice as expensive as our 'normal' stuff, but I think it would be worth trying in your case - might save you blowing head gaskets and allow you to run the hotter tune.
Wow Carl you sure done a number on it you have any idea how much boost you put to it? From experience I can tell you that there is way to much air and not near enough fuel lol I would definable check the heads for warpage and be sure the block is flat as well
