I have one of Walts engines running for 3 years in my 50 F1 and it runs GREAT. No mufflers straight from the headers back with 13/4 pipe, sounds amazing.

when I went to pick up the finished engine, I discovered Walt likes to strum a few tunes......had I known, I would have brought my acoustic with me and we could have had a Hootenanny!

2935ford did you say it took walt four years to rebuild your engine? Maybe walt should spent less time struming and more time rebuilding engines.how long does it take walt to strum out a song?

I've heard Walt's flatheads, the one in my A coupe and he just finished one for my basket case 40, that Merc engine is still on his test stand... Sounds awesome!

But I have yet to hear Walt's Martin!
