    MY Flathead is almost done! I have just a couple more things to do before it goes to the Dyno Shop. It’s really looking good this has taken a lot more time and money than I ever thought it would. The motor has a 4 3/8 stroke crank and bored to a 302 cubic in motor. I am expecting at least 220 hp ffice:eek:ffice" /><O:p></O:p>

  3. Good grief! You certainly do have a load of time and money in there. Please keep us posted with the dyno results.
     
  4. Very nice work 8-Track.

    What is it going into?
    If the car is half as good as the engine, you will have one killer hot rod.

    Wow! That's art work. Just curious, how do you get enough belt wrap on the driver side water pump pulley with that generator set up? I know it's been done, but it seems like it would slip.

    Excellent attention to detail and obvious exceptional craftsmanship.
    PLEASE keep us updated on dyno results and the car it is going to power.
    I believe that the car will be very deserving of this qualiy engine.
