Mopar Flathead Pictures

[pflaming]

There are many colors and details that make these flatheads look fantastic. Mine and the one I'm going to copy for my convertible are shown below. Don Coatney has a beautiful blue/green pic. Some are silver, I recall a really nice black one and many more. Show us your FLATHEAD engines, preferable outside the vehicle but not necessarily so. 

 

Many of you have posted before, but to have a collection would be helpful. There are little details in each engine that are very helpful in making a nice presentation. Example: I like how Ed plumbed his heater lines, how heat shields are mounted, various ways vacuum and fuel lines can be routed, etc., etc.

Here's mine after an in the car touchup and the addition of the hard piping for the dual heaters. The piping was missing off my car when I got it and in its place many feet of heater hose. This cleaned it up nicely.

I have lots of engine pictures, will add this one. I like to see the various ways spark plug wires are run, head bolts/nuts, carbs, air cleaners, and other details. There is a tremendous amount of creativity put into the engines. To me they are trophies! I love em.  I don't know the builder of this one, but WOW! Love those manifolds and the fuel and vacuum lines. That is pure artistry.

I have rebuilt this '55 230 twice, after the next 60k miles ill probably paint it the same again.
