Features RARE flathead heads Let´s see some

A set of Federal moguls sold on the weekend at auction by route 32 auction for $3300.

 

Here's an odd one. R&R (Roof) head for Willys 4cyl. as used in midgets in the 40s.

 

I let a mint set go by at the LARS swap in '98 for $400 and bought a flathead Paxton setup instead. Turned out the blower had no impeller :/

 

was able to score these over the weekend, i had a pair of the L&S racing heads a few years back but sold them, didnt want to at the time but now ive got another set and the matching intake, there is so very little info about this stuff, D&S E&S and L&S are all related and i think the S in all of them were Ed Schneck but havnt figured out the D, E and L and am gonna dig more and see if i can find anything else out. There is a set of E&S racing heads that share the same casting as the Osiecki Racing heads and a few other names have been mentions as being the same casting but ive never seen this set cast with another name.

 

How about some solid heads I carved out of a 2"×8" block of aluminum ?

 

More pictures and details?

 

Here's a few progress pictures from I was building them, they are built to take the high cylinder pressures of nitro

 

Look good to me.

 

I’ll play Kong Twin pluggers

 

@LOUIELOUIE very cool rare head how’s the chamber look.

@youngrodder1929 awesome job on the heads and on a nice Bridgeport. I plan on making a set of heads but a two piece design for cooling. Did you make the cutter for the chambers or modify one Any suggestions or tip in making them

 

caddy flatty Edmunds heads

 

Cool thanks I made the cutter out of high speed steel welded it to a old adapter colet I had its ugly but works well lol

 

This is a hard one to post and hard to discuss for personal reasons, but here is the Only complete set and only ever set run on an engine manufactured by Mike D, sohc heads from Australian land speed racer and fantastic engineering mind and passionate flathead man.who unfortunately checked out from reality not too long ago, johnny

 

Wasn't aware Mike had passed away, he'll be missed on the salt. RIP.

 

Rob,Not passed away but has been admitted into full time care,His health declined to the point he cannot speak properly and developed frontal lobe dementia

 

That's sad on so many levels but thanks for letting me know. I was the short track starter the first time he attempted to run the streamliner and was gutted it didn't work out for him, especially given it was likely the last time he'd be able to actually drive it.

 

Sold this guy a car and found these under his work bench ! But he wouldn’t trade for the car ???

 

These are my SAE heads and matching Tattersfield’s. I’ve got the matching SAE 2x2 intake also but the blower replaced it…

Loudbang, those look to be the same Federal Mogul heads that sold at the route 32 auction in Iowa last fall. I believe the hammer price was $3300 for those heads. The same guy also has a pair of Smith heads on the same auction site that were also purchased at the route 32 auction. I really can't see anyone stepping up and buying these Federal Mogul heads at that price.

 

I agree, I feel more bang for the buck with the smith heads, you don't see them often the federal moguls are slowly becoming bellybuttons

 

My Federal Heads I bought with a 39M Mcculoch setup that have been all sitting since 1940. Did a quick mock-up for fun. Will be going in my 32 Roadster in the background.

 

That intake though.... Dang, man. Impressive work!

 

Thanks for the kind words

 

Our Art chrisman built Flathead that runs and sounds like a
265/283 small block Chevy

 

Awesome! Do you have any videos of it running?

 

Here you go. They will be at LA Roadster show as well next week.

Next time I run it I’ll video it. Good idea. We had it out last year at bowling green for the NHRA hot rod reunion

 

Rare ?

 

I want a set of Smiths in the worst way.
