Re: French flathead
At the time that all of this "French Flathead" discovery was initially taking place around 2000 or so, Richard LeJuerrne, owner of Halibrand Performance Products had supposedly stumbled across this stuff somewhere abroad. Mark Kirby was briefly brought into the picture by LeJuerrne , at least for consultation and some flow testing on the intake ports. A third un-named party was also involved in this early part of the story. This John Skrabanek guy that I named above seemingly alludes to having quite a bit to do with helping LeJuerrne (in some capacity) to acquire the lot and get it moved States-side. I believe that this John S's place is just across the road from Brent Mullins place in College Station. I know that my wife dealt with Richard Lejuerrne personally by phone at Halibrand in Kansas that first Christmas to obtain one of those beautiful blocks for me as a surprise Santa Clause stocking stuffer. The going price back then was $1500, in cosmoline, in the crate. DD
