has anyone put one on a slingshot intake before? I've looked at old threads but didn't see a example or ideas as to a setup.

Tod another guy u could call would be Dave Tatom in mt. Vernon Washington. if u wanted ideas on how to improve the block without compromising the use of lemon and aftermarket parts that already exist.

I should put this on my bucket list since my last name is Gilmore lol.

What is it that has been lost over the years that makes reproducing these blocks so damn difficult and expensive? the original drawings for the v8 were filed and forgot about long ago. plus there are multiple casting pieces they used just to make one block.

edelbrock has been contacted about a flathead block all aluminum v8

if your looking to sell off 2 8ba blocks with no cracks in the valve pockets let me know.

I would totally use that as a daily driver.

Moderndriveline makes a tail shaft that will bolt onto a mustang t5 and comes with both mechanical and electronic speedo options.

I say build what u want. Sure u can go with a boring stocker and it will be a lot cheaper. But that's not any fun. It's your wallet no one can tell u how far to open it.

Maybe uncle max can shed some light on this matter.

Ah don't be scared to rebuild a stocker isn't that much but when getting into all new upgraded internals port matching, machining and of course blowers it climbs fast. Just remember it's not it's not the 50's or 60's it's 2016. Build what u want no matter how mild or wild even if it is a street...

Does this need to be done on new strombergs?

what is all new or reused?

I think a lot has to do with where your at. I could be wrong but up here in the pnw I don't believe there is as many flathead enthusiasts as in other places. I will take the chance to apologize if I came off as a "***". Please understand I'm just very passionate about these motors and my dream...

Agreed as good as u can get brings the cost up.
