That is one exotic overhead flat-head conversion I've never heard of. Thanks for presenting it to enthusiasts !

I thought Ardun heads were the only overhead valve heads . Pretty cool to see .
@Mercmad3 жыл бұрын
If you ever get the opportunity to read R&C magazines articles from decades about Ardun Conversions , you will see that there were quite a few different OHV heads around ,even a set of overhead cam heads by C T automotive. Ed Iskendarian had a set of OHV heads on his T rod that he built as a young man. A lot of these conversions were for Trucks ,to provide power for Engines expected to deliver power from 239 Cu Inch.

This is great, and I'd like to see more on the tech for these heads, but you don't have a lot of credibility when you omit to mention that H&H sells them, and has the ability to make more. There's only a few in existence because they haven't been able to create a market for them - a shame since there's obviously a lot of potential for hot rods as well as modern levels of power from the old flathead blocks.

Must be a so-called F-head design, exhaust over intake in this case. It’s a dead end design worth at most about ten percent over a similar displacement flathead.

I had a 429 built by Precision in Irving TX back in 85. I had it in a 67 Fleetwood. It would catch about a second and a half of scratch at 85 when it shifted to third, and that's in a 5000lb car with a locker and good tires... It ripped...

Ed Iskenderian's 27 Model T had a 'Maxi' truck conversion F type head he modified to make 13;1 compression back in the early 40's......as far as I know, both he, and the car are still living.... On a side note....Dave Tatom's cam grinds over at Schneider's, make much more power than the Isky's....
