Looks awesome. I plan to build a rat rod with a blown flathead after I graduate. How many ponies do you think your pushin?

 

[carrrnuttt]

Drool.

As soon as I saw the first frame, my first thought was: "That has to be going into a '32."

I was off by a year. Oh well.

Sweet ride man. Make sure you post pics/vids once you get her buttoned up.

It made 255hp and 300ft.lbs on the engine dyno.

very nice good luck with ur build keep us posted please

 

[Helomech74]

Very, Very nice. What body is that? Please tell me that you are going to at least paint it. I've never been a big fan of the "Rat" rod look, but it still looks like it's going to be a nice ride regardless.

That is a lot of dang horsepower out of a flat head! Should be a blast to drive! Congrats:beer:

that flathead ford V8 was a high tech marvel when it was introduced. always a favorite till the fifties 8 cyl overhead valve engines came out. i've worked on quite a few of them, this brought back memories, thanks

Seeing videos like this make me itch to get my 31 Chevy done. I've got sooo much more to go.

Looks great.
