Features The Burk Roadster

That just might be the most wild looking flathead ever.

I must be a rookie, what kind of heads are those?? Looks mean...

 

Like the story says, they are "CNC-machined Burk heads.".

 

I think those are head covers, similar to, but not like the Thickston covers

 

Hmm, I have never seen that car before. I dig it. Perfect color choice. Anyone have any better pictures of it?

 

OK thanks duh!!! I'll read it 'all' next time

 

More on the "cooling system" would have been nice. You think that blower is just a little bit "overdriven"? Just look at the size of the crank pulley! Interesting rod. Butch/56sedandelivery.

 

Whoa I started that post forever ago... I still love that car and hope to see it in person some day...

 

I know Dave a bit and those heads were made by Himself.
Dave has some real talent when it comes to all the custom Machine/ hand work and creative Hot Rod things he builds into his Rods.
The cooling for the roadster is in the trunk area , Dave has a unique talent leaving items mysteriously missing on his cars .
I blame him for getting me into this mess!

I can't get that car out of my head.I assumed the radiator was in the trunk.Overall,I really like it.

 

Yup cool beans He runs four Carter YH side drafts on this off the blower.
I may be able to talk him into some more Pic's.
He also built a Carson ? fuel injection setup YES built from a magazine article from the 50's Way cool.
Those Burk heads are not covers they are functional cooling the real deal if I remember correct.

Wicked looking roadster.

 

How are those heads attached to the cylinder block?
Hello?

 

I told ya he's sneaky you don't see Any fasteners on them things any one notice ya don't see a Alt or gen on there either

 

I saw the coop he built at a show earlier this year. This guy does amazing work. He completely home built an injection setup for his flathead off of pics in a mag from the 50's. His fit and finish is second to none. At that time he was a recruiter for Wyo-tech.

Awesome! Dave is a cool guy. My first ride in a hot rod was in this roadster almost 20+ years ago. He was a big influence to me and a huge help on building my coupe.
