Tubman,

Sure, I hope you didn't think I was calling you out, I was just making a point that old time flathead can mean different things to different people.

There is a crew that I know who are so old timey, they look to use 30's era speed parts. That club is too rich for my blood for those intakes sell in the thousands of dollars and the Winfield carbs are in the high hundreds of dollars. Sure looks cool.

My wheel house is just pre-WWII. Edlebrock Slingshots, Wieand hi rise, early Eddie Meyer stuff.
