Ralph, you're not alone. I think this engine is very interesting and a job well done, however I favor the "traditional" aspects of the flathead and how they were hot rodded years ago. Trying to "modernize" the flathead with technology just highlights the core problem of bad flow dynamics that can't be cured. For those that say Ardun did it, well that wasn't a flathead anymore, was it?

This engine is a great example to guys who think they can bolt on some stuff and double the original horsepower. All this work nets 204 hp.
