they are cool..and they are old..if you like that then cool..if you like newer technology..thats cool too...My coupe is diff...31 studebaker w/1969 lincoln 460..I love mine..and I love these...nobody has a bad hotrod
Flatheads are going faster every day,porting and realiving ideas are getting better bottom ends stronger. For what I paid for the conneting rods I could have built a good running small block chevy bought a 700 r4 from my buddy & been on the road& not had to think about the stupid vacum advance only distributor,tran adapter , pressurizing the coolant,getting the dang stuck valves out, major inspecting of everything, cleaning 50 yrs of crud for the bottom of the block. The look, the sound...,
The track is Little River Dragway, just south of Temple, Tx. Been in operation since the 60's at least... under the shade of pecan trees... amazing place. Track is quarter-mile... flathead ran 16.4, Buzzard's SBC ran 13-ish... faster now!
3dscotts says "yawn" 3dscott does not apreciate real cars,
was a great effort for a "flat head" which is small cubed and was made between 1932 and 54, so at its youngest age possible it would still be 54 years old,
nice.

Yeah - Buzzard's 327 is way faster than my flatty, but he red-lighted that one.

Not bad for a flathead. I own a flattie powered 50. Counting the days for my small block transplant.

That still looks to be a pretty healthy flattie. Built flats sound really good, too.

Yeah... I didn't shoot it. DRIVE ON shot the launch, and KRUPANUT shot the finish. I just spliced them together to show my flathead getting thrashed.
