You get what you pay for….. Did you expect brookville quality for that price you paid ? Why didn’t you bought one in pieces and built it yourself? After you solved the rear body situation( you need to cut everything loose up to The b pillar and then reattach everything)) what do you do about the...

Me too :)

There is a lot more to good breathing Flathead then just big valves…. A roller cam with high lift and very good ports are needed. Then small displacement and the engine will make power at 6k rpm , nothing below 3k and Idle at 1500 rpm . Sound like the perfect street engine….. :-)

Hi Ron, At which rpm does your engine make boost with the 400 potvin cam? Regards Micky

Hi Ron, I only use Cometic as they hold the pressure. I will try to get the solid copper gaskets, sound like good alternative. I use steel heads with 76cc cleared for 0.4 lift

Did you ask Schneider cam what they recommend? I guess another grind Lift is your friend, lots of duration not so much… Who needs boost at 5000 rpm ?if you drive it on the street The cosmetic gaskets will help you to seal the engine. Use a good stud kit 258cci is 3 3/4 x 3 5/16? It is is the...

Hi Hank, did you ever drive a flathead , or even a stroker Flathead ? You ask on various forums and you wont get a perfect answer. Instead of asking 1000 questions , build something and see what you get. There are proven combos , but you seem to want to build the ultimate Flathead And that is...

I tried i yesterday without luck..... Someone else before me hit the shaft with a hammer so the threads are not in good condition anyways. That i can fix once i have the steering wheel of the shaft. I try to avoid to drill the steering wheel.... It is a german Bosch 1932 Ford Coachbuild steering...

Hi, Thank you for your Ideas. After i saw the pic of the puller, i got the idea for a thick rubber Ring! Aircooled vw rear torsion bar rubber! I will try that with a bearing separator , i guess Thanks again

Hi, i have pretty stuck steering wheel i like to take of the shaft. Cant use heat ... I soaked it in wd40 etc and tried with a puller, but stopped as i am afraid to Break the bakelite /plastik Steering wheel is in very good condition... Any Ideas? Regards Michael

Wow!

Hi , do you have a part number for the voltage reducer? Regards Micky

To answer the question.... 4.25x3 5/16 and a Eab or Merc cam.... But where is the fun? With a 5-speed you can run a more fun cam. isky 1007b... even if it is not that wild/fun 400jr is probably to much for your liking... A Flathead is a torque engine not a RPM engine... Isnt camshaft talk the...

I dont like the Max1, but Yep :) 500bucks for Max1 is stupid..... Much better cams on the market...
