Mark D Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 Curious to see if anyone in the forum has sliced a stock head open? I’d like to see what’s going on inside and possible run some fluid dynamics modeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loren Posted December 27, 2020 Report Share Posted December 27, 2020 I think by now we've all suffered from spell-check changing the context of our posts. What I hate is when you get in a battle with it and it keeps changing it back! I have a 25 inch block that I suspect is beyond re-building. I am thinking very seriously of slicing it up to check the wall thickness of the ports. With that information I could send another block to the porting service to get the max air flow. A Dry Lakes Racer friend of mine had a Ford Roadster with a Flathead V8 in it. He ran in a class that used fuel. To strengthen the block and side step the V8 cooling issues, he used heads that were carved from solid slabs of steel with no water jackets. The alcohol fuel did all the cooling it needed for a run of a mile and 5/8ths. Of all the engines you could do your analysis on the Ford V8 would benefit the most. Here's a feature of my garden and a subtile idea of what I think of Ford flathead V8s. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
