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? Looks like you're willing and able to go rather fast!
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.

As has long been said: "Speed costs money. How fast do you want to go?" Looks like you're willing and able to go quite fast!
