Ok, refining my choices: Have the TR Roberts Blower kit with 6-7 psi boost. Settled on the Schneider cam (Potvin grind) Edelbrock 1116 heads (low compression ratio, high lift capacity, and high air flow) The 8BA block has 258 cu inch A few Q's. The Edelbrock 1116 heads have a max lift of...

Trying to do some calcs. Is there any numbers known as to the sq inch area of the head area? I can find the cubic centimeter volume from the many head mfrs but not the surface area. Reason is I'm trying to figure out how the different head gasket thicknesses affect the compression ratio.

$2,000...not sure about the ones without the gold plating.

Anybody know where to look for the stamped compression numbers on the Weiand 8BA flatheads?

If a set of rare used heads have minor corrosion around a few water jacket openings and some pitting in the piston dome area of two pistons, is that a set of heads to avoid? The top side is near pristine. Can those defects be remedied? I know everything cost $$$, but can the water corrosion be...

Since the combustion chamber of the head and head gasket are slightly different at the transition area between the valves and cylinder bore, which do you use as the area outline to be milled?

I seen numerous pics of a flathead V-8 head gasket laid up against an aftermarket head and instead of the head gasket following the around the perimeter of chamber shape, it pulls back especially at the transition between the piston and valve area. In fact even the size of the water jacket...

March 4, 2025, legend Gene Winfield passed away...R.I.P.

Saw it in a HotRod feature article. The cam lobes were modified so the lifters were able to be non-rotating and the bottoms slightly curved. Apparently they were able to get the revs up to 7,000. But the cam and lifter life were short lived due to excessive wear. They set a record for a Salt...

Anybody buy a 33 steel bodied roadster from American Speed33 in Detroit? I drove up to see the place and was impressed with a finished car they had on the floor. They didn't have any bodies to inspect except the one a worker was welding on. Need to know the amount of body work (mud and sanding)...

Looking for install lakester headers on my 51 flathead in a '35 Ford 5 window coupe with no hood or engine side panels. Speedway on their website says the patriot headers will not fit. Is that because the '35 coupe body may be wider than say a typical '32?

About 3-4 yrs ago I read where the owner of a side business called Flathead Speed and Machine was working on installing fuel injection into old Stromberg 97's. I tried multiple times to contact the company with no response. I see the website is still up. Anybody know what is going on?

Looking for a pair of Mooneyes EFI units. They look like traditional Stromberg 2 barrel carbs.

I'm experiencing a stumble by what appears to be an intermittent electrical short when accelerating between the rpm ranges of 1800 and 2000. My theory: as I accelerate I occasionally hear the radio or a cd hesitate ever so briefly thru the 1800-2000 rpm range enough to cause a CD song to be...
