A Flathead in Engine Masters?

[Kahuna]

It is unfortunate that some people profess to know things and comment without all the information.
I am very sure that Ken would not say that his engine was never on a dyno, because it was and was done in Utah.
Next, and VERY important is the drag strip test:
Car- 4350+ lbs with Ken in car (car gearing NOT optimized for drag racing). 3 runs, as I recall.
No ET's were recorded, but speed was 93 mph. Calculate that, then tell me your theory on HP.

Lastly, folks should keep in mind that many racers keep a lot of what they do to accomplish a Bonneville record very close to the vest. That's why records stand. Ken would never lie. He just won't give anyone all the iformation they might desire.

Henry, a lot of what went into Ken's engine has been published in some magazine's:
Displacement
cam and lifters, etc.
Alot has NOT been published, and yes, the engine looks very conventional

I've known Ken for almost 30 years. He's a very talented machinist and thinker. I'm proud to call him my friend.
