Only $30K for a flathead look a like!, I think I'll stick with the originals.

TStiles · 02-17-2013, 12:30 PM

Me too...

Pretty out of the box thinking - probably much easier to adapt a block than try to do one from scratch.

402CID would be nice but. . . . . . .30K? Too rich for my blood. Interesting idea, though.

Somehow having red hot exhaust pipe inside the valley chamber sounds like
big trouble.
I notice there is no hp claim made.

Sounds like a crunchy burnt oil mess to clean out now and then. Interesting idea though. There is some serious time invested in the design.

It's a neat idea but, how many "really nice" Flatheads do you think could be built for $30,000...???

FLA48 · 02-17-2013, 03:21 PM

Neat idea, but well above my pay grade.

FL&WVMIKE · 02-17-2013, 04:11 PM

They will sell a few.
They, probably, just did this, because they could.

Bassman/NZ · 02-17-2013, 04:23 PM

Amazing.

bugsiegel · 02-17-2013, 05:06 PM

Video Please.....
Does anyone know the builder or his reputation?

ford3 · 02-17-2013, 05:45 PM

thats wild, just think of the fun you could have blowing off a few dozen chevy powered street rods, the chevy guys think the flat head is dead, man what a wake up call when they look under the hood and see a flat head bolted between the frame rails, and if nothing else this posting will give the forum police some thing to jump on and make there day saying it should not be allowed and should be removed instantly LOL

jack orchard · 02-17-2013, 05:49 PM

I think i will wait to buy one of them until after i push a big dump truck that says "DO NOT PUSH" on the back of it...jack

Henry/Kokomo · 02-17-2013, 06:57 PM

Pete makes an interesting point. I looked again and still didn't see an exhaust outlet. Where is it?

On the 4 corners just under the gasket line...Hard to see. Way too small.

At today's prices...... one or two.....

deuce lover · 02-17-2013, 08:16 PM

I'd gladly sell the nearly fresh flathead out of my 36 coupe for $10K but not to buy one of these.

dumb person · 02-17-2013, 08:29 PM

That is awesome, but not too sure i would be a big fan of the exhaust placement. Cool idea though.
