casper50 Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) I've never seen anything like this. Suppose to be for a 230. Can anyone explain it to me? Edited January 21, 2015 by casper50 Quote
greg g Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 Overhead valve conversion. I believe two were built. The boxes cover the rockers and related hardware. 1 Quote
casper50 Posted January 21, 2015 Author Report Posted January 21, 2015 thanks today is a good day. I've learned something new. Quote
55 Fargo Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 (edited) This is a special F head design, very expensive, in the 5-6k range, not sure how many were built. The modern day version somewhat synonymous to the Ford Flathead Ardun conversion although the Ardun was a complete overhead valve arrangement, where this Edgy design is an F head. a link to some interesting info on F heads... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/f-head-flathead-conversions-photos.732281/ Edited January 21, 2015 by Fargos-Go-Far Quote
Tim Keith Posted January 21, 2015 Report Posted January 21, 2015 It is the Edgy F-head conversion. I think only one was built. The valve covers look like those on a Cummins 6BT. Quote
