Small black Chevy to Flathead Ford, Deuce gets a flatty again

My old has had this real Henry Ford roadster for while now. He bought it as a barn find, been sitting since 1958. To get it back on the road he put a 66 327 in it.

He then bought a running 53 flathead out of a F-5 dump truck....just in case.

Today just in case happened...

 

Sorry for your loss. The SBC is bitchin.

 

Sell the sbc to the people who want to be like everyone else and get some vintage bling on that flatty.

 

Justin Case is a wise man.

 

love flatheads, but the 327 is the way to go. and NO i am not trying to start a debate. just my opinion. love the roadster.

 

I love the flathead.A lot of people love to see something diffrent.Bitchen roadster

 

Flattie is cool, roadster is cool, what else?

 

Cool either way you cut it.

 

Generally, people go with the Shit that works.

 

I stuffed a 49 flattie in our 32 roadster and It's been on the road about 2.5 years. With a T5 it is a great set up! I'd do it again...

 

I have things that work and none have a sbc.

 

That is just too cool.........

 

Generally, people are morons.

 

Hi,
What taillights did you use on the roadster?

Whatever floats your boat! HRP

 

i would have keep the sbc both have been done to death but it,s your car enjoy what you want

 

My hat's off to the person who takes out the SBC and puts in a flathead. If I could I would shake your hand, well done, my friend, well done!

 

As far as third brake lights go, that's one

 

It had 47 Olds tail lights when it was originally built. Im not sure where my dad got the tail lights that are on it now.

Pics of when he brought home.

 

A 327 is cool, but a flathead is cooler. Nice work

 

I like it both ways........Sure wish I had the valve covers off the 327 for my 54 chev truck build.....

 

geezerville...

 

I really like the way the flatty looks in those open hood cars.
