Thread: High Power Flathead

Tweet

You can drag this into the dirt and put wish in one and and $h!t in the other.
You're looking at ancient technology and limiting the project to a mere 276 cubes.
Achieving 1 HP per cube (even in a flattie) is simple. I deal with 341.7 cubes.
Put forth the effort to use your own money and common sense, using your resources for the right component, you'll see 400 at around 5300.
Ken, you PM'd me and I responded. You're jerking my chain and won't open your eyes. Too bad.

...not out of any standard Ford car based flathead that I ever saw without wet sleeves and an impossible 3.56 bore and something like an unbelievable 4.375" stroke - not when you start with a 3.188 x 3.75 or 4 inches!!!!

Maybe if you start with a 336 cid Lincoln or F8 truck engine - it's possible since that one started with a 3.5" bore and a 4.375 stroke and a whopping 150 Hp or so out of a boat anchor weight engine still with a three bearing crankshaft having the harmonics of a floppy rubber band.

Ken - looks like you and I are the nay sayers on this one
