Flathead / Ardun Question
 

I asked this question on another forum and got a wise-guy answer that didn't answer anything . Maybe someone here can help .

My late father used to have a 51 Monarch that I could drive when I visited him ....loved the mellow rumble it produced . I always hoped I could buy / get that car one day but it was never to be . I was simply wondering what the sound of Ardun heads produces from a typical flattie ,that's all . Is it a unique sound etc . etc ?

Thanks , Terry

I dont think there is anything specific about the sound of an Ardun compared to many other engines, but they sure are sweet.
