Haven't hear a flathead like that since I was a kid. My grampa had an old pickup out at the junkyard he used as a 'parts getter" in the 80's...still had the original engine in it. Windows were busted out, and I had to sit on a milk crate on the passenger side, haha. Love the old flathead engines:-).

Down in New Zealand they ran Dirt drags in the beginning at a quarry . They even had hillclimbs in the quarry itself .I have pic somewhere of a flattie powered A roadster powering up the gravel track out of the quarry.

And Ed is quite the guy. He's been at this gig for a long time. My Grandfather ran against him with a black '55 t-chicken at CDR back in the day. I hope to bring a Bocar to Monte one of these times.

What was the distance? 1/8 mile? Timed it 3 times and it looks like it was right at or just under 12 seconds. Pretty awesome!

+Paradise Road Description says V6 Flathead. V6 Flatheads do exist. Just saw one. Guy saved it from a car salvage yard in So Cal. Plans to put it in a 30's Studebaker.
@ThomasStaab12478 жыл бұрын
+Paradise Road I can promise you they exist. I've seen this car about 50 times and it's very real and very V6. Also, I've got another video on my channel of it at the Hot Rod Hill Climb and you can see it's a V6.
@SCRnflz8 жыл бұрын
+Thomas Staab I ran the block and head numbers for the guy I mention that found the V6 Flatty. He found it in a junked 53 ford pickup. After I ran the numbers, I found it was a Funk (Funk brothers)conversion - they did them late 40s/early 50s job V6 Flatty that were mainly used in Ford tractors. It's a 226ci built in 1951 I believe. Interesting. Apparantly they're rare. He got it for $150 but needs total stripping and resto.
@ThomasStaab12478 жыл бұрын
+Paradise Road, had a chance the other day to talk with Ed and yes, it is a Flathead V8. I have no idea why I thought it was a V6 other than I'm an idiot. ;)
@paradiseroad64058 жыл бұрын
...the flathead V8s had only three exhaust ports on each bank...the middle port being shared between the two inside cylinders...if you don't count the spark plugs on each bank...the exhaust does tend to make them look V6ish...I still doubt the existance of a flathead V6...I think the Funk conversions were inline sixes...I've been around American engines for about 46 years now including experience as a mechanic and machinist...and I've never seen one...Googling "American flathead V6" comes up with nothing either...

Foolhardy to give the starter zero protection. One wrong move off the start, a blown motor spewing shrapnel sideways and it's game over. Kool but dangerous...
