Yep, but I still need to go thru it and set it up for the blower.

 

Now there's a flatmotor I can get excited about!
Detail overdose too, I like it.

 

These were heavy cast aluminum "support" valve covers that Ford offered back in the 80's. The studs for the rocker arms extended thru the covers, hence the external nuts.

 

Wonder why this SOHC doesn't have the front cam cover bolt, appears to not having been drilled. Dove piece possibly.

 

Sorry
Tech difficulties, the first one from loud bang.

 

Now for something a little different.
Here’s another early photo of a Cammer with the original spark plug location. Ford engineers took great pains to design a perfectly symmetrical hemispherical combustion chamber with an optimized spark plug location, only to discover that the spark plug didn’t really care. The plugs were then relocated at the top of the chamber for ease of access. This engine is set up for NASCAR use: Note the cowl induction airbox, the single carburetor, and the cast exhaust manifolds.

Not too shabby with a hemi too.

 

1-2: Holley 94s with Kleinig flame arrestors, Fenton intake on 59A (my long-time daily driver A roadster until last year);
3: a friend's shed art Buick (headers still to happen...);

 

Dangerous liaisons, tons of power and minimum weight.

 

I love this.
