I'm building my 59AB not for racing but certainly to make me smile when I put my foot down. The motor may not be the fastest but it does have 3 carbs and nice set of sharp heads L100 cam and is balanced and will have a set of headers with duals to sound good. The tranny is a three on the tree but I do have a quickchange for the underside of the truck, of course it's all pieces right now. The point is racing a flathead is not realistic unless you are willing to tear them down on a regular basis and I am not. However I do like to think it's got some balls when I do get a little foolish at times and maybe look pretty cool in doing it.
