we are getting ready for an event called the No Name Nationals in Sikeston, Mo. in Sept. So we have been going to test n tune a few weekends in a row now. It's down to 8.76 in the 1/8 mile. Also have a new 360 degree camera that I have just started to play with. If anyone is so inclined please...

I am in the process of assembling a 8BA engine and when I tried to removed the front oil galley plug I couldn't get it out. No big deal, I'll get it out later. So I start to pressure wash the block and low and behold there is a small hole (.06 or so) in the plug. Would this be there to oil the...

hi guys, a couple of months ago myself and a friend went up to St. Louis to buy a truck load of parts from Harry Stirnemann. Harry and his now deceased brother Jack have built some killer cars over the years. Harry's still at it, but he thought it might be a good time to get rid of some of their...

went check out a couple of engine blocks a high school buddy acquire for a project and was wondering what may have caused this damage to the valve seats. Looks about .050 to .060 deep and affected some intakes and some exhausts

anybody thinking about attending this event, other than me? Flathead Fall Nationals presented by the ECTA, details on their website https://www.ectamile.com/

by any chance would someone have contact information for this group? They used to race a Flathead powered roadster at Bonneville and I would love to talk to their engine guy. From Minnesota, I believe. Thanks

Seems there was a fair amount of flathead stuff that was auctioned at the Auburn Spring 2015 event, everything from stock to supercharger stuff. Anyone know where this came from? I am assuming it's one person's collection. just one sample...

read this ad on Craigslist, the poster has a very complete history of the engine in the ad. Is it possible to verify this information as stated? I am not calling him a liar, just saying I didn't know a person could possibly find out this much history of a particular engine. "1952 MERCURY FLAT...

again, I have not involvement in this............. http://hudsonvalley.craigslist.org/pts/5706713434.html $150 for 5 flathead engines that have been outside for years.

I would like to use Cometic gaskets on our 8ba, but the standard gaskets are only available for the 59ab. Could I use the 59ab gaskets while using the 8ba heads and block? Might have to block off one hole near the front. This is a race application so I'm not worried all that much about cooling...
