337 Lincoln powered hot rods.

[Henry Floored]

Guys I'm curious if any of you have had first hand experience or at least know of 337 Lincoln engine powered rods or race cars?

I have seen a few Caddy powered rods here and there but the 337 stuff is really rare. I'm pretty sure Ken Austin had a 337 in a '39 Ford years ago. I remember seeing a video of a Model A coupe in England which was sporting the big motor.

The question is, is there much more out there? Has anyone gotten them to work in a lightweight car like say a '32 Roadster? I know there was a little action with them for la Carrera Panamericana and the early Muniz Jets etc. What kind of attention did the hot rodders pay to the 337's if any?

Conceding that they are pretty heavy there are some things that look good on paper with this big block Flathead. The porting looks more advanced to me and of course the larger displacement.

So if you're bored and got nothing else to do on this autumn Sunday I'd like to know more. Stories and pictures would be great if you have them. Thanks!
