Projects Flathead going in a 34

Ha ha haaaaaaa ... "Tell me about the rabbit, George...."

 

Well the dyno results definitely did not match the dollar amount... as expected. 190hp he said he could get another 50 with a 4 barrel but you got to know I really don’t care I am not planning on racing so not a big deal!Fun for me is not measured by horsepower alone.I had a great time riding in my 15 T to pay for the 32 Plymouth 3 window I bought.. I bought that and brought it home yesterday. It was in an underground garage with a 32 Vickie and 5 window fords sitting behind it..So a little distraction is going to be taken over for a little while.

 

don't fret over the HP you will be really happy when get it in the car and stomp on it, the torque will really surprise you and having a t5 will really help on stretching her out..... this here is 200 hp and tows about 2500lbs all the time

 

I like that, nice truck right there! I am looking forward the whole thing being done and just drive it. I brought it to a shop last week for the fire wall to be made right again. Is that engine of yours in the original motor mount location?

 

No I had to move it can't remember how much now as it was 19years ago.....ug.....wasn't much but as I was doing a Must2 front end and 9in rear everything was custom fit and fabricated. I may have some pics of it if you are interested. And yes I had 2-2's on it but went to the four barrel much better.........

 

Some pictures would be good if it’s easy enough to get them in here, no problem if not, most of this one will be fabricated. Looks like properly going to have to cut on some of the X member for the T -5. What color code is you truck?

 

Here's a few pics and the color is PPG JBX34364 Dark Quartz Poly basecoat/clearcoat

 

Oh yeah... a super-charged Flatty with Porter steel packs?... That thing is gonna sound Saweeet!

 

Flatheads speak in a language all their own. That engine is a work of art!

 

the steel pacs rusted out years ago, straight pipes back now and man do I love the bark now..........

 

Thanks for the pictures Carl. We found some room to get a little by changing to a different crank Pulley . Now it needs to modify the original x member to get the T - 5 in and hopefully this will give clearance for some air cleaners on the 97’s and still get the hood on it.This is my wife’s car now, I had to give it to her so I could buy this 32 Plymouth, fresh out of the garage after a 43 year

 

that looks nice, hemi???

 

Eventually for now it’s staying like it is till I get the Flathead in the 34
