Re: Good HP numbers?
Sounds like a great engine. If you haven't already done so, you and your machinist should read both John Lawson and Ron Halloran's books "Flathead Facts" and "Nostalgia", respectively. Mr. Lawson has done a lot of well documented dyno work and discusses custom intake manifolds. Mr Halloran discusses his perspective on many axpects of flathead design and practice as well. Both authors have an eye toward and experience with performance engines. I think you'd find it a good investment to purchace both books. If you've already consulted these publications, you know what I'm saying. As I said earlier, yours sounds like a great engine.
