anyone have any good pics of flathead caddys with headers? Front engine dragster pics would be awesome.
There you go for starters. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=273395&highlight=cadillac+flathead
does the exhaust always exit from the top on the flathead cad motors ? I am building a front engine dragster model and the heads on my motor mount with the manifolds at the bottom. Are they wrong or did some exit at the bottom?
Flathead Caddy exhaust alway exits the top of the BLOCK not the heads. If the exhaust did exit the head then they would be some Overhead conversion.
CHECK THESE OUT BY ZIBO http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=335174 POST SOME PICS OF YOUR MILL. LIKE SAID ABOVE, EXHAUST IS ALWAYS OUT OF THE TOP OF THE BLOCK.
ERIK, I GUESS I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR QUESTION, BECAUSE IN THE PICS, YOUR HEADERS APPEAR TO EXIT ON TOP OF THE BLOCK. PLEASE POST SOME GOOD PICS OF THAT INTAKE! I'M DYING TO SEE IT.

If anyone is looking for a nice Caddy flathead out in CA., I bought one years ago and it still sits indoors. Nice an clean, came out of a runner that was well maintained. Motor, trans, and column with column shifter too. Pm me. I just talked to the guy today, then saw this thread, I'd like it... but shipping seems to be a bitch. Going on almost three years...
