Hot Rods Flathead Feud

We inherited our dads extensive Ford collection of parts/engines & we need to downsize it. Some of our family members are saying Flatheads are a dying breed while others are saying that we know people are still building them. Weigh in please if you are still messing with them...

Flatheads are big here.

 

“Flatheads forever”

 

Always LOVE seeing a flathead in a hotrod.

 

X2 on Flathead, have several.

Bones

 

Been building, and driving them for 56 years, no sense in stopping now.....

 

I just got a 48 with flathead. I was holding out on finding one with the old flathead still in it. Nothing looks better than a fully dressed up Ford flathead engine.

 

I own two cars with flatties nothing looks nicer than a Av8 to me and a lot of others.

 

Great hearing from others who value flatheads!

Built a 286” Flattie for this truck. My first and probably last Flathead. But I wouldn’t have anything else in the truck.

 

Flatheads will never go away.

I'm building a TV8 right now..maybe I like 'em cause they remind me of my childhood (going on 80yrs now). I've had other rods over the years, always a flattie. Part of my bucket list I guess. Love those tall T's.

 

Hell yeah flatheads.

At 70 years of age,I have over 55 years of FLATHEADS. I have 6 engines in various bores and strokes.My 1932 cabriolet Henry roadster runs the 1/8 mile at 80 mph when coupled with my 3;89 locker. I think you would be amazed at how many rodders are flathead LOVERS!I have 7 homemade intakes searching for more horsepower.Flatheads Forever!

 

They're like a fungus; only a lot of alcohol will keep it in check

 

They be hanging out to much at the bar or drive in.....and not in a garage !

 

Nothing else sounds like a flathead,and plenty still being built and run.

 

I have three of em, two in cars.

 

Have four. Two in cars.

 

Put me down in the pro-flatheads column. Just acquired my first at age 37 and hope to one day have as much experience with them as the old heads chiming in here.

 

They say if you live long enough everything comes back in style, guess I'ved lived long enough been messing with them for over 50 years now and will be till I croak

 

Worthless junk. Send me your address. For $50 I’ll come pick up the mess and haul it away for you.

Yeah, I know, but somebody had to say it.

In my roadster

 

I have a warmed up flatty that will kick some small block patootie. Why be ordinary?

 

That is some fine looking horsepower and roadster.^^^^

 

REMEMBER : If motors were supposed to have pushrods & rocker arms, Henry would have put them on!! He obviously tried to follow the KISS principle, as well as "If it isn't there, it can't break or otherwise go wrong!!"

 

Put a 52 Mercury flathead in my coupe and I love it. Sounds and runs great. 12,700 miles so far in the last 3 years!

 

It’s whats under my hood.

 

Add me to the list as well,34 coupe also 33 ford truck in the process with a 40 merc 99 a . As they say real engines don't have valve covers..................... keep them all.
