Edgerton's new OHV Flattie

[jd52cranbrook]

Went to a picnic for the Inliners International Club last Saturday up by Oroville, CA. Great time

Got to meet Earl Edgerton, talked about a head issue with mine.

Anyway, got to see his latest project. A OHV flattie. Took out the valves, put in push rods and used SBC valve train. Pretty cool. This was it's maiden voyage. He has a partner in CO who has the other of the pair with many miles on it with no problem.

I have a vid of it running will post when I get more time and can figure it out, lol..

This engine as well as other Edgy creations, were featured in a Hot Rod Deluxe magazine article last winter.

Very cool engine, but big bucks also. Is he going to try and break his Mopar flat head record at Bonneville this summer..........Fred

Pretty sure he said he was going.

I saw his buddies OHV on the salt. Pretty cool.

Nah, good to re-visit these kind of topics.

Heck you met up with Earl, that is worthy of a thread on it's own.

Did you get any pics at Earl's place.........Fred

[jd52cranbrook]

No, we were at another member's house, Gene Finch,

Man what a place in the California foothills.

What a view.

Here is a link to the pics, plus pictures of a nice old cover bridge in Cherokee.

Inliner's Picnic, May

Oregon City, scuse me.

On that same road as the bridge in Cherokee, we came across a guy who apparently restores trailers. Found some very nice ones, not the airstream but the others, that my car would pull. Id like to have one.

Didn't mean to imply that you were old news... I've been wanting to see Earl's engine so I'm happy you posted.

Great group of pictures! Looks like you had a terrific time. Suprised to see V-8 engines at a flatlinners convention?

[Don Coatney]

Both Chryslers,,, I tried to get both in the same picture. I thought it was very rare too.

I think there were two, they begged and pleaded to be allowed in....

yeah I do. Seems like as soon as I put the hood back on, I have to go under the hood in relatively short time. It's so much easier to get to things, plus Kathleen likes the look, I kinda do too.
