Default Blown flathead
Went to help out a buddy work on his AV8 we put baffles in the exhaust and he fired up the Flathead for us. Hopefully I can post this short video.
Nope won’t work
I need someone more computer savy.

I believe if you post it to U tube, you can add that link to the forum.

OK it’s been about six years since I loaded anything to YouTube and now I can’t figure it out. I have an account but nowhere do I see anything about loading new videos.
Like I said I am not very computer wise.

Make sure you're logged in. Somewhere near top right is a image of a movie camera. Hover over it and it says upload video. Click on it and point it to your video.

Shouldn't be too hard.

Ok, I think I got it loaded to YouTube, something in my settings was blocking it.
I’ll try a link, but if it doesn’t work the name of the video is; Bears’ Blown Flathead https://youtu.be/0xQmK4Qoeu0

It’s the only one in Fairbanks that I know of, and maybe only one in Alaska. Correct me if I’m wrong Anchorage Barners.

I think being savvy enough to build an engine like that is more important than computer savvy! I love it!

Heads are stock 8BA, I’ll have to ask about the cam.

Blower is made by Tom Roberts designs in Ventura CA, Bear said his cam is an Isky full race grind, but he couldn’t remember the numbers.
