Man, this page is just chocked-full of delicious eye candy! Damn, those Hydros were a beast! Thanks guys for the nostalgic moment. DD

Either way, you done good. That's a keeper for sure. I have a spaulding flame thrower for the red built motor and a starter crossover housing like the one you show.

You guys are killing me with these cool non flathead engines. I just love old hot rod engines.

Danny,

"PM" me, I have 12 left in stock from my last production run and am about to do 20 more. I get $50 each from forum members plus $8 shipping. Two would be $108. I'll take a personal check and I also have PayPal.

Denny (Tubman)

I hope these guys that are trying to produce vintage reproduction blocks are completely successful.
That should release some of the OEM blocks for sanctioned racing.

They are legal. They do not fall in the "vintage" category.
