"Traditional" ford flathead pic thread.

And, the biggest picture of the day award goes to....

 

Here is what I believe to be a London Ardun Head. I have a couple more pictures of the engine, one of the heads, and one of the oil pan. If you would like them, I can post them up, just let me know.

 

Added to my files. Are the heads polished?

 

Thank you kindly J.J. ...That is a heck of a compliment and I am honored by it. Not to hijack, have you been following the "Re-build" on my roadster?

 

Here are some Stephens heads which, if you are into Flat Fours (I am) they make the best OHV coversions nowadays that I know of.

 

2,3 and 4 is on the way to my house as we speak. Pretty excited!

 

I guess I'll throw mine into the mix!

 

Wasn't it? Pheew! All fixed now!

No not as of now. They're just sitting there with the "made in Canada" scrubbed off waiting patiently for a little TLC. I might polish them and then blast them with soda to knock the polish down but still keep it clean looking.

 

I had mine glass peened, i love the look but they are hard to clean!

 

Holy crap , this is some cool stuff !

 

About 55,000 miles ago, when it was still clean...

 

Damn. I was wondering if I impregnated the metal with Gibbs penetrant to see if it would build a barrier to dirt and keep it clean looking. I wonder if that would work as well as they claim it to.

 

Took a moment, here are some more Ardun Heads... I am not sure what area make...

 

Here are the last V8 Arduns that I have. I have no idea where these where made either.

 

These are Smith "Jiggler" Heads.

 

Well, this is supposedly a flathead with Triumph Cylinders... Kinda cool.

 

These are Alexander OHV Heads. I think they are great, but again, good luck finding a pair.

 

And last, but not least... Tornado OHV. Just beautiful. Damn look at that engine.

 

That is awesome. I love the look of it, what are you putting it on?

 

I did for a while but I stopped. You've gotten a lot of stuff done since I stopped reading.

 

The 51 Merc that will power my 36 cpe.

 

You should get caught up...ALLOT has changed (in a good way). The last 20 pages or so have seen allot of updates.

 

Anyone have anything else for me to add to my archives?

 

Over the past 3 year I've slowly been collecting cool flatty bits and pieces (you know how it goes) for a mid to late 30's ford coupe. Which fingers crossed is in this years budget.

 

I've even been toying with the idea of having a mcculloch vs-57 hanging off the side. I mean that air scoop is just asking for it.

 

Hell yeah! I like the Mcculloch idea, plus that scoop is begging. So what year are you looking into?

 

The car? I'd love a 36 or a 38, but would settle for anything from 35 to 40.

 

Here's a couple.

 

Here's mine

 

Hate to say this but Arduns and I heads and F heads are not flatheads, they are not L head engines.....................
ps nice Pecdaddy
