Re: Industrial Engine

Re: Flathead City's new billett heads

$2350.... adding a turbo to a flat motor would be better/probably cheaper too.

Re: Holley 885 carb vs Holley 94

Here is my 885fg off of my 337 Flathead. It was a truck motor, so it had a governor. I changed the dizzy to a lincoln car dizzy so I am going to change the 885 base to a non-governed one. Therefore...

Re: Holley 885 carb vs Holley 94

Well lots of good discussion. I think I’ll hang on to my 885. It’s all ready rebuilt who knows maybe set up a manifold with a pair of them on it!

Re: Holley 885 carb vs Holley 94

I can’t believe these carbs wouldn’t flow a bunch better than a 94 or a 97. I just can’t believe no one ever checked to see if these could help produce more power.

Holley 885 carb vs Holley 94

I’m wondering if the reason for the Mercury flatheads having a higher horsepower rating is due to cam or head differences or perhaps the 885 carb. The venturi’s are quite a bit larger in diameter...

Re: gas washed cylinders and ring sealing

Also if you have chrome-moly rings, they take longer to seat than steel.

Re: gas washed cylinders and ring sealing

One thing I thought about also is, if the engine was rebuilt, seals DID get put on the intake valve guides correct? Ask me how I know if you forgot.[emoji16]

Re: gas washed cylinders and ring sealing
