Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
Impressive, to say the least! Would look great in my '30 Deluxe Roaster.

Ya, that belongs to Rick Schnell, Anoka, MN., who has the record holder
blown Ford Flathead 7 second dragster (the Slider). He's one heck of a builder. .

Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
Very Sweet ! I agree on the ultimate part. But that price. Wow !! That belongs in a $200K car.

Now if I only had a car to put it in, oh well.

Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
Nice engine, but I disagree with the "Now That's a Flathead" part. It is now an overhead valve engine.

Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
Also, it ONLY runs on 110 octane. Good luck finding that in Whykikamoocow on a Sunday afternoon.

Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
Since it's now an over head valve engine, I guess it might as well be a blown SBC or Ford, and get more power for maybe $10K.

Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
I see he has a Doug King main girdle in it. I have the same set-up in my unfinished 29 roadster project. flat head powered with a 4-71 blower, Baron high flow heads, a one off manifold . unfortunately, I have been stalled on this project for about 5 years. I need to get back to it soon.

Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
That is a work of art and probably worth every penny, however, I would like it more if it was a Flathead. I look at the Ardun as a three main bearing Hemi with limited cubic inch potential.

What are those lines going down into the sides of the oil pan?

Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
Photo 12 shows spray bars to lube the rocker arms, the tubing to the oil pan drains the heads. Also, it looks like that block had a previous life, the intake ports are polished.

Re: Now That's a Flathead!!!
Very exciting , but gotta calm down as with the exchange rate @71c it's going to be $76000 plus local tax making $ 87000 then add shipping customs etc it's got to be pushing $100K down under.
Still that doesn't diminish the wow factor and the definite kick in the back when it moves. |
