flathead V8 4x2 intakes

Hi all, I'm trying to find out which, if any of the flathead 4x2 intakes had individual runners as opposed to a plenum.

I did try posting on the HAMB, but little response.

Thanks guys.
Kev

Re: Cold air plenum for carbs

No other opinions? I hope some old time lakes racers, Pete etc would have something to say?

Re: Cold air plenum for carbs

Thanks Ronnie. I didn’t know if 97’s like having air pushed through them, some carbs don’t.
I know there is a possibility of running lean, but with a flatty running out of air high up the Rev...

Cold air plenum for carbs

Hi everyone.
I have a model A roadster with a full hood, running a healthy 293” flathead underneath with 3 97’s on a straight linkage.
The under hood temp can really get hot, surely sucking all...

Re: 8BA Edelbrock head clearance

Just bringing up an old thread of mine. Ended up borrowing a few heads. None of the off the shelf heads fitted with my .430” lift cam and 1.72” valves. Ended up getting a pair of MCF heads from...

Re: 8BA valve seat grinding

I think I’ve sussed it. Just needed to go a bit deeper with the 30 degree first.
One final question, how far do your valves normally sit above the deck height once set?

Re: 8BA valve seat grinding

Hi all, thanks for the replies. As I stated in my original post, I understand that the valve isn’t perpendicular to the deck. I’m also using a cutting tool with a mandrel that fits in both the valve...

8BA valve seat grinding

Hi. I’m in the process of grinding my valve seats to set the lash as I have non adjustable lifters. Due to the fact the valves aren’t at 90 degrees to the deck, my cutting tool is creating a larger...

Re: Centre exhaust port baffle or fourth port?

So the general consensus is to forget the fourth port out of the heat riser and go with some homemade we’ll fitting dividers/baffles.

The block will have full cooling system. Racing is everything from drag racing, to hill climbs and sprints to high speed time trials at Pendine.

Re: Centre exhaust port baffle or fourth port?

Hi Tim.
I’ve got JWL’s book and like his divider. I’m just wondering which would be more beneficial, that or a fourth port.

Re: Centre exhaust port baffle or fourth port?

Hi Ralph. If I was to do a fourth port I wouldn’t be dividing the centre into two. I’ll either fit a port divider/baffle OR a fourth port.

Re: 8BA Valve length

Hi Gary. Those guides would certainly solve my problem on one bank but not on the other where I need 4.945” length valves.
How much are a set of those lifters Gary?
Thanks

Re: 8BA Valve length

Hi Laurie, that’s what I thought I would need, 0.100” over valves. But on measuring one bank that works fine, the other bank requires 0.040” longer valves?
