Features Dressed flatheads

I’d have to agree, very nicely done.

 

Exactly right - I made the blockoff plate to function as a fuel distribution block and gauge mount.

 

Weiand made these for stock car racing. I believe they were meant to duplicate Ford's special "Denver Heads"that were made in aluminum especially for high altitude use and therefore had a higher compression ratio. Since the originals were made by Ford, they were legal in most stock car racing associations. When the original "Denver Heads" came into short supply, Weiand stepped up. I have heard that it was a higher step than Ford took. These may also be Ford "Denver Heads"; they are externally identical (for obvious reasons).

EDIT : Here's a little more information from guys that know a lot more than I do : https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69804.

 

These heads do not have any Weiand markings or Ford part numbers, and when I cc'd them they are the same as stock iron heads. No other markings other than the cast in "MADE IN USA" and "FOR A". They were in new condition when I bought them about 10 years ago, but as cast. I had them polished. Here is another view.

 

Gorgeous!

 

Made in Canada script alloy heads are not uncommon down under. Our first flathead I polished a set of Canadian heads and they came out great. But that was 40 years ago and my budget was slim.

 

Here's my turd. 292 ci., Potvin 3/8ths. Stromberg's leaving their mark after a few years. LOL.

Nice flathead! Is your sediment bowl upside down?

 

prob should be more worried that the bail isn't in the ctr. notch!

 

The coil is though. lol!

Never seen those type of fuel hose clamps before,

 

Probably not ideal, but the pump is actually an early Cadillac OHV pump converted to flathead. It's high flow, low pressure. 2.5 lbs right out of the box. Charlie in NY did it for me.

 

Haha. Yeah, had to use an epoxy filled coil to mount it like that. Tried to keep the Model A feel without the wire being looped to the top.

The clamps are WWII-era aviation Wittek's. The small sized ones are getting really tough to find. I should safety wire them.

 

Huh? You can't see in since the fuel line is blocking it in the picture. It most certainly is. I'm no rookie. LOL!

 

-sorry--ones i've always worked on.the little thumbwheel has the 'saddle' that the bail locks into and in that pic the bail looked off to the rear a bit--but the gas was still in bowl !!

 

No worries. You made me worried, so I ran into the garage to check it out. The view is just blocked by the fuel hose. LOL!

 

Here’s a couple
