It really is a shame Mark never got this engine sorted out. Seems like it had a ton of potential; albeit a pretty limited market of guys willing to spend the dough. If I recall, his plan was to make it something like a 327-350 ci flathead using this block and related parts.

I also think Motor City Flathead was ahead of the curve. If Kirby and MCF were around today, I would think he'd have no shortage of customers.

He was into it all: builds, cams, heads, intakes, etc. all of his own design. My friend has one of Mark's motors in his car and it runs really well and strong. Motor was built in the '90's.
