Over the years I have told pretty much told what goes into one of my engines, but not everything at once.
Most people are still living in the distant past when they think about flathead engines.
How many people are willing to spend 40K on an engine just to beat a buddy that spent 35K?
How many people have ever seen a flathead cam with .520 lift and a max. acelleration of .013?
How many have seen 2 ring gas ported flat top pistons. How about a dry sump oil system?
Full radius valve seats?? Oh, did I mention injectors with 1.875 butterflies?
They haven't banned titanium parts in vintage racing yet and we are hoping they don't.
