Latest Flathead build

V8/60 for a 48 Kurtis Midget. Original engine built by Clay Smith. I have replicated as close as I possibly could. Waiting on water manifolds to be cast. Carbs are mock up only. All but shiney parts block and crank are NOS. This engine could be raced.

Midgets are the most fun you can have with your clothes on.

I have a very nice one. A junky set of correct lifters but not the tools for the 60. Have tools and cams and nice lifters for big v8 including a New set.

Wow, if it runs as good as it looks, watch out. I’m sure it will.
