Are those narrow belt pumps Because I have been trying to find narrow belt pumps with the old style mounts like you are showing.
Very nice!! What did you do for steering?
It's great to see old iron back in hot rods. This was my friends 1969 409 powered
If your building a 60's hot rod fine but if your building a 40/50's hot rod hell no!!

After being in the hot rod and race engine business my whole of flathead people sure swing 180 degrees on what works. Engine people as a rule may...
Today with cheap imported heads your probably 100% correct. And this will be the last flathead I'm building for myself for a while. That's for...
Back in the late 50's early 60's my dad had a gas station in Port Chester where Marvel was located so we grew up with Marvel. The funny thing was...
That's a good question For some reason I thought he was being conservative in the grind. And with no experience with flatheads I have read tons...
So I talked to Jerry at Schneider cams and he assured me that the 270-F was the cam for my engine combo. We went over everything I have done to...
