Re: Rear exit manifolds for flathead 39 Ford
On a stock flathead? Methinks a stock can breathe quite well with a stock exhaust system. Dual exhaust on a stock flathead is for appearance...

Re: Rear exit manifolds for flathead 39 Ford
Is it an 8BA?....does a ‘39 exhaust cross over the front like one?...I bought a left manifold from Drake and a right from Shoebox-Central. But it’s a ‘51 with an 8BA. I agree with the dual exhaust is for looks and sound.....and annoying the neighbors when I leave for work in the morning!!!.....Mark

Plus the Ford police package included the 255 cu. in. Mercury engine so maybe the factory engineers figured the stock Ford single exhaust was somewhat restrictive. |

Re: Rear exit manifolds for flathead 39 Ford

C'mon guys! Let's be sure of what we're suggesting that folks should purchase. That eBay unit is a "FRONT" exit manifold for a CROSSOVER pipe! DD |

Re: Rear exit manifolds for flathead 39 Ford
Would be interesting if we could see a episode of engine masters do a flathead buildup. Maybe we need to start harassing Freiburger.

Re: Rear exit manifolds for flathead 39 Ford
Have a look at the French flathead exhaust manifolds. Exit high up and to the rear. https://www.35pickup.com/FrenchFlathead.html

That would be interesting! Open it up to all flathead engines used in automobiles from, say 1920 to 1954. OEM blocks, cranks and heads only. Otherwise, anything goes! Use the Engine Masters scoring system to give a level playing field to determine the winner. Maybe go by horsepower per cubic inch. Next, which would be overall horsepower king? 308 Hudson? 346 Cadillac? 359 Packard straight 8? Or a 448 Lincoln V12? Let the games begin! |
