I just found this on Facebook. It’s a prototype and the price would gag a maggot... but it’s cool as hell and I thought you guys might enjoy it!

218/230 OHV conversion with fuel injection.

Might you have a link to the page?

Looks like Earl Edgerton's FI setup. Is he selling them now?

"The price would gag a maggot"....haha. Would it also harelip the Pope?

BTW, I sure home Earl and his shop made it through the firestorm ok. Santa Rosa and the surrounding area got hit hard - I think like 5,000 structures burned completely and over 40 people killed.

$12-15,000....not even imaginable to spend on a flathead, unless I just took home the winning lotto ticket, but very cool set up.

So it's an F-head conversion. Intakes are overhead and exhaust is thru the block. I didn't see any details photos on the linked page of how it works exactly, but I'm curious, especially how they get an OH intake valve to operate given the existing cam and lifter positions...

I only recall an F head in some of the Willys engines of the early 50s, notably the Aero.

There is a link to their Facebook page with more info and I am sure you could ask questions about it there.
