If you want to be seriously competitive in the 11 lb. class there is no niche for our Flathead V8 engines.
I have been told I would get some weight breaks and come and have fun.

If I just wanted to show up and have fun, and didn't care about being beaten by about half the track, I would use my Flathead.
The class is still growing and there are various levels of performance in the class. I am not chasing prize money or trophies, I just want to run my car with others that enjoy vintage motorsport. I will end up mostly competing against myself to see how fast I can make it go.


If you are stuck on the Flathead determine the minimum weight you can build the car to and will fit an engine configuration. For example the 239 cube Flathead must weigh around 2650 lbs. That combination will easily outperform a 296 cube at 3275 lbs. when both engines are built to the maximum performance level. Forget about strokers.[/QUOTE]
