Yea I doesn't look like an A box either....Bader just replied, looks like its an F1 box...you have real good clearance with it just curious. By the way, how can you get by with just an old flathead for power?
I would like to post a running video of mine. All the activity with forest fires around here has the bandwidth eaten up. Is there a chance I could email it to one of you guys and you could post it? 3-5/16x4-1/8, 1007b cam by Pete1, orig. Slingshot, etc. Thanks
What goes around comes around, I'm finally back to building and driving a flathead. I have learned so very much from the HAMB site, little digging and theres usually an answer along with a few opinions. Thanks to all of you out there in the greater electron village, sharing experience and a wealth of knowledge. Will take some shots of the latest creation: 8BA - Scat crank & rods, SS big valves, ported relieved, Maxi cam, 2 - 97's on an Offie manifold , Edlebrock heads with studs to make it tight, Reds headers, MSD ignition. Machining by Luke Balogh in North Vancouver who has forgotten more about building flatheads than I'll ever know. It drives a T5 with 8.8 rearend 2:73 for cruising. Runs down the road just fine and most people love the fact thats its a flatty. Especially the younger guys that build and drive their cars. 3 pedals no valve covers = happy happy
Its got a pinch bolt on the arm,its definitely an f100,f1 have splines and a big nut holding it on. Sent from my iPad using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I've always said there are 2 motors you can instantly tell what they are when heard. One is a flathead and the other is the old air cooled VW. I do love my flatheads. I have two torn down in the garage just waiting patiently inline to be put back into service. There is nothing else better in my opinion. Sent from my iPhone using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I find more and more cool stuff on this 285 incher I bought last year - like Edelbrock pistons. Wonder when they were made.
Hello, Flatheads were part of the beginning of the hot rod scene. Here is a roadster at Lions Dragstrip in 1959 with what looks like a Roots supercharger with a couple of Strombergs on top. A lot of the hot rods back then just came off of the street to run at the drags. This one looks like it did or maybe not... Jnaki
Had the intake for 20+ years, long before the roadster. A friend had been hoarding the 97s. No question what was going in to replace the LB that came with it. '52 Merc, .030 over Isky Max-1 - mild but reliable. I have several other cars with the usual even the latest but this is the most fun!!!
Yes, that is the Carrillo Roadster. The restorer and current owner ( Frank Morawski )is the white haired guy with his back to the camera. The guy on the right is Jay Fitzhugh of the Rodder's journal. The fat guy on the left is one of the Mario brothers. I was working for the chassis shop when the restoration took place.........I got to help
Here's my first. Little 60. Install magneto, clean up spark plug wires. Install new heads and water necks ... Sling dirt
My '52 mgtd with a 60hp, and a mustang t5 and 3.9 gears in the rear. A nice setup and runs quite well, just a bit hot at times. Marvin, ct
97... Early flathead. 21 stud. Water pumps in the heads. Block has LB cast into it. Picture stolen from google images.
