Default Down to the last strokes

Spun up the flathead today for the first time (no plugs) and had good oil pressure. Still have some minor bugs to work out (note the kinked rad hose over the alternator), but getting there.

Looks great. Are those K&N air filters? If so would you mind sharing the part#. I'd like to use those but worry about hood clearance running a tall thickstun intake. I wonder if you would happen to know the filter height. Thanks

Those are K&N filters. If you go to the K&N internet site they have a matrix showing all filters and their dimentions. Mine are 4 inches tall but you can get just about any height. After finding what I wanted I went to the local AutoZone and they had them in stock at the Atlanta warehouse. Got 'em the next morning.
