Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine
Sorry my messages are being put in the wrong place. I was responding to someone on here who goes by Pete, andI was calling him out about his ridiculous comments about his 14 to 1 compression Flathead making 352 c.i. There is a whole new generation out there getting into Flatheads, and I hate to see them getting useless and untrue information. This will be my 3rd Flathead build, and I've done so much reading and research over the years, NOT from some Dude on Youu Tube or a website such as the Ford Barn. No, I'm not saying there's not useful information on here, I'm saying there's some people out there that , shall I say, don't know what they are talking about. , and thereare other real engine builders, who have done Flathead builds over and over, with real world results. I don't just throw information put there based on what some guy that knows a guy, that knew a guy..... and the 307 , 69 Nova was supposed to be a joke.I've met enough of them. I have Time Slips for the cars /motors I've built, not just hearsay. So......there you have it. I bet Ol' Pete has some ocean front property in Arizona too.....

I think you are picking a fight with the wrong guy. I respect Pete's information regarding building and racing flathead engines. |

As the original post-er of this thread, I too respect Pete's info and knowledge. Pretty sure he has built more than 3 flatheads.

Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine
Ldjr003, suppose I tell you there is a fellow here in MN. that has
built a few Ford Flatheads too, His name is Rick Schnell, and he built a Ford Flathead dragster that has dynoed at 939hp on 60% 60% Nitromethane fuel. It has the world record of being the quickest single engine flathead dragster in the world. Here is a link to a test run he made at BIR, Brainerd, MN. Raceway. http://myflatheadford.com/worlds-qui...head-dragster/ .

Please take another look at what I said. I said that a N/A SBF can put out more than a supercharged flathead. I learned ibefore the end of HS (1962) that the flathead wasn't competitive, with OHV V8's.

Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine
ack in the dat, C&T automotive sold stroker kits for allot of engines for the flatheads there were two that were very popular 3/8 x 3/8 296ci and 3/8 x 5/16 284 ci. The cost was $195 I also ran a "Y" block 342?? not sure , but close. Never had any problems with any of them. They all came complete. Rings anrods and bearings. The "Y" block had converted the rods to full floaters. Interesting projects, learning by my mistakes.

Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine
You take a 59AB block and bore it out to the water jackets then sleeve it and bore it to 3,5". Use a 4.5 crank and see how many ci you come up with. back in the day we did not have all the modern technology and material but we still did things.

Re: Let's build a drag race 8BA engine
If set up right, nitrous oxide is a great power maker for short bursts of speed.
