230 flat head rebuild

[Shaneo]

G’day all, i’ve decided too keep the original flathead in my 47, i would appreciate any help as to rebuilding the flatty. I’d like to build it too handle a intercooled eaton m90 blower or turbo with blow through carb possibly and a auto trans, thoughts? Cheers shaneo.

plenty of folks will chime in on the flathead, not much on here for blower and or turbo setup that is beyond mockup, remember one filmstrip but the engine was not shown bringing the turbo online.  I am glad however to see you did abandon the 350/400 plan.

Shano! Adams is spot on. Flatheads are great engines, but . . . . Pigskin is tough leather, but not a candidate for a silk purse!

I’d love nothing more than to pass my brothers 36 ford flatty, surely if rebuilt properly and with a lil extra to help the asmatic breathe can’t hurt running low numbers? Any thoughts on adapting auto trans?
