judsonhauling Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 Hey gents. Anyone have a way to get ahold of Earl to order a head an intake? My motors at the machine shop and haven't gotten a call back from them. Quote
judsonhauling Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Posted September 30, 2014 Tried both. wasn't sure if any of you we're buds. Quote
austinsailor Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 Not a bud, but a customer. Quote
judsonhauling Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Posted September 30, 2014 Trying to become one . Love his stuff! Are you happy with it and what do you have? Quote
austinsailor Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 He just ground a cam for me. I figured he knew more about flathead 6 cams than anyone. He's real slow to answer emails, so give him a few days. Quote
judsonhauling Posted September 30, 2014 Author Report Posted September 30, 2014 Got a call. Sweet Quote
55 Fargo Posted September 30, 2014 Report Posted September 30, 2014 Keenly watching this thread. What lift and duration we be talkin bout here..... Quote
judsonhauling Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 I asked what his mild grind was.. I will let you know. Quote
judsonhauling Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 So let's pose another question. While I im getting the head just because I like the look and I haven't seen another 230 head. Let's talk intake. Edgy or Offenhauser? Quote
DJ194950 Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 So let's pose another question. While I im getting the head just because I like the look and I haven't seen another 230 head. Let's talk intake. Edgy or Offenhauser? Far far do you want to go with building a flathead motor? He's built then up as far as full on racing! If ya got the dough! All up to you and your wallet!

Plymouthy Adams Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 up to you and your wallet is right..but for dependability it is up to you and your driving style that dictates the ultimate build...if you not going to horse it to heck and back there is no need to build it for that purpose...

austinsailor Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Many here probably know, but Edgerton has built a hemi head conversion for the 25" flathead. Can you get more radical? Quote
55 Fargo Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Edgy may not have the market cornder on extreme Mopar Flathead Peformance, although He certainly is up there. Check out this, http://p15-d24.com/topic/36222-radical-mopar-flattie-dragster/?hl=%2Btim+%2Bkingsbury Quote
judsonhauling Posted October 1, 2014 Author Report Posted October 1, 2014 Wow. That's some serious power. I'm not going too radical but gonna have something fun. I already did a complete frame off one ton for my dad. Now gonna have a little toy daily driver. Does anyone else make a head? I haven't seen one. Quote
Jeff Balazs Posted October 1, 2014 Report Posted October 1, 2014 Is there somewhere else to learn more about what services he offers and some detail on his products? I have seen his web site but there isn't much info there. Jeff Quote

drillmastertommy Posted October 2, 2014 Report Posted October 2, 2014 I have Edgy valve covers, head and dual intake with two 94's, dual cast headers and Pertronix ignition on a 53 218 in my daily driver 39 Plymouth PT81. Looks great if not a little grubby now, goes really well (I do now need a new clutch) but I went for the intake as well as i think it's the best looking one available and I like things a little different. Was a bit nervous drilling the bypass hole in the head but combined with ARP studs all went well. 1 Quote
The Oil Soup Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Did you buy the cast headers from Edgy? Quote
drillmastertommy Posted October 3, 2014 Report Posted October 3, 2014 Did you buy the cast headers from Edgy? No, although I'm sure I would have if he'd made them. I got them from Langdons Stovebolt, arrived nice and quickly but not cheap to ship to the UK! Quote
deathbound Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 I'm running a Sharp dual carb intake to match my Edgy head & valve covers with Langdon's headers & HEI on my 201. Haven't touched the cam yet, probably in the future. The head/valve covers took about 3-1/2 months to get & well worth the wait. I had the fins/sides of the head polished after I got it. If I remember correctly, the stock studs/bolts for the valve covers were too short for the Edgy valve covers, so I used all thread, cut to length & new nuts/washers. Quote

Pics ??? and DB how much performance change do you notice? Quote
deathbound Posted October 4, 2014 Report Posted October 4, 2014 (edited) Pics ??? and DB how much performance change do you notice? The mods were done at different times & nothing documented, but it sure "feels" like it runs better......here are a couple pics: **EDIT** I know this is the truck forum, but mine is a '38 Coupe.

55 Fargo Posted October 5, 2014 Report Posted October 5, 2014 Thanx for the pics DB. Here is a link to a nice flattie Hi-perf in a nice coupe. Built by George Asche. 1 Quote
