Recommended Posts

I've been studying this picture. I put it on my screensaver so I could get a good look. What all did the creator of this engine do? It is one of the more sophisticatd modified flat heads I've seen. Hat's off to that person.

I think that belongs to moose here on the forum.

Not my engine.  I built the manifold, but all the credit for the good looks goes to Bloody Knuckles.

Spitfire- I just edited the photo.  Made it big, you probably won't be as impressed now...

 

It's my understanding that Ron(BloodyKnuckles) puts a lot of miles on that car.  He keeps it clean.  Good stuff.

Thanx Moose, hey how much more jam do yall get with a set of headers and double or triple carbs. I would like to do this in my 55 Fargo pickup with 251 engine, it runs well, has good oil pressure, but have not idea how many miles, and it does not use oil...

Hey Moose.. Those look like Bing Carbs,  Just like on my BMW R 75/5.  Sweet set-up!

Bing? I don't know that kind.  These are Mikuni 32mm I think.  Oh yeah, Welcome aboard Dutchman!

I've never had one tested on a dyno or anything, but the seat of the pants meter definitely measures higher!

XS750 or XS850 carbs? Or all custom linkage? Neat trick. I've though about adapting efi to my spare project engine ($125 56 or 57 230) but decided it was way too much like work for a truck that mostly serves as a farm stand and storage cabinet for the last 39 years...
