[MrRonnieG]

Back in the later 60's there was a guy (Pete Milar) who published Drag Cartoons magazine and campaigned a flathead powered FED.  Don't know if Pete, the mag or the dragster are around anymore?

[MrClemJohnson]

[SuperBerry111]

[countryboy2725]

Sorry, I don't normally say stuff like this but...  1 person out of 31 has no idea what a flathead or a blower is. If this doesn't make your blood pump, you're not alive.

[AmoralEngineer]

Supercharged flat head........ I think that's under "compression" in the dictionary haha =)

[deannaber]

Oh it hunts so beautifully nasty lil bugga

[clarkdl03]

[flathead26]

[mikecvcc08]

has anyone ever tried to turbo a flathead?is it even possible?just curious.

[outbackautomotive]

Of course! lol

You can turbocharge any engine

[GeneralCuster14]

I wasn't sure about your comment until I remembered a picture I saw of a Turbocharged Briggs and Stratton 1 Cylinder. Lol, You're right :P

[LIP15]

@mikecvcc08

Any engine can be turbo'd, just as long as it can supply the fuel to compensate -and needs to have the compression lowered and stronger pistons/bottom end [obviously]

As far as im concerned, having a roots type SC on a Vee engine is the way to go, but you could twin turbo it.

[indestructableforce]

Its a beast.

[deans4x4]

words cannot describe how freakin cool this is.

[wastedtubers]

well have you blown it up yet? I have never seen a blown flathead last long. the center exhaust ports always seem to be the breaking point on the block. the block are now to damn old, for heavy racing use. I don't get why people keep doing it. i've seen way to many good blocks trashed.

[Klickmania]

Man, just listen to that thing!!! Sound's incredible!

[steigerfreak280]

man nice engine a good old flattie good to see people using them for races and what not very good

[monkfry]

[1PATRI0T]

Can you drop that into the trunk of my Jetta? Looking for a little more power...

[lrk33]

The VW would tip over,as with the cast iron heads we have on it now.Lawrie

[brandonmccartney18]

[lrk33]

We have had a problem sealing the heads, we are O ringing them at the moment and should have them back tommorrow,ready for the nostalgia finals on the 15 aug., the last time out was 131 mph at 10.03.

[LIP15]

[blackknightracing]

[Chevypower265]

Very nice, I've always loved the ford flathead! That things got a great idle! One thing tho, that blower belt looks kinda loose to me.
