Wow, that flathead has so many tubes and things it looks like it's on life support.

Correct me if I am wrong but is this "thee Kenny Kloth " world record holding flathead? I believe he took it out of his 49 merc to fit a more street friendly flathead some time in 2014. Fact or fiction .

from what I understand those are the heads off of Kenny's car, real high flow low compression. Also I think the engine is turbocharged and electronically fuel injected (completely legal in our class).

Those are Kloth Heads, but not the engine itself, I'm sure.
The record engine was sold many years ago and as far as
is known has never resurfaced. Rumors abound.
I believe the engine itself still sits idle in someone's shop.
Kenny has made more than one set of heads

At Wilmington the records for XF/GALT and XF/ FALT are open. We currently hold the records for XF/BGALT and XF/BFALT at 138 and change.

Dale, thanks and I will definitely be in touch. Phil

Thanks for the update kahuna. You have the correct facts to set the record straight.. Shame the original is languishing in a shop somewhere and not out racing as it was designed to do.
