Is there anymore info on that car? Looks awesome!
Re: Surfing the net & look what I found - 03/15/11 08:02 PM
That car belongs to our very own TURBO6 here on this forum.

I think in Leo's book he used to use turbonetics and have a draw-thru system using a 950 Holley. A few months ago I ran across this shot, intercooled and blowing thru a trip set of 2 bbls.

edski,
If you have trouble with the 4 letter word "FORD" this will gag any true inliner.
We built a "FLATHEAD V8" with a turbo and put in a friends lakester and got him in the 200 mph club.
Don't fear I'm a true INLINE guy.

Wasn't that car in Hot Rod or Car Craft a few overpriced fuel cycles ago?
Definitely cool.
So's the first one for that matter.

In high school I never met a flathead I couldn't beat with my 261, but in 1963 we only had about four of them at our school, one guy had a '39,there was '50 with o/d and a '52 with 2-97's and one guy ...well we never had enough gas or time or guts to run one another (for reputation sake), but in a race between his 268 inch '49 fffford and a (back then before calculators and PI was only 3.14 on a piece of notebook paper) 301 inch '57 rag top chevy(cam was timed wrong) which I was behind and I was the starter (go on the third honk) the flattie pulled away from the chevy so bad that I had room to pass the doggy 301 chevy and went after the flattie (could not make up the carlenght spot). The 301 really had poop on his face as he was beat by a flattie and a stovebolt in the same race- you dont brag that at the local hangout too much-but we sure did!
The flattie was a friend of mine but we didn't hang out together too much - and at a car gathering 45 years later it was slipped that the flattie was a 286 inch that found water when he tried to make it a 296 incher!
Well, aint that something? But we sure had the last laugh 'cause when you take PI out far enough with today's calculators, my 269 inch stovebolt was actually a 270, and the 301 was actually a 302 and you know how bad both of them are.
As a further insult to the flatmotors, you know us chevy guys have always had to step in and help the ford guys keep up thru the ages - Louis chevrolet, and his brothers, designed the Frontenac head conversion for the four banger T-models, as Zora and his brother made the Ardun head for the V8 guys - and even ol' Henry finally saw the light and went OHV in '54 like all them stovebolts were for so many years (copied them right down to the loud lifter noise - remember the '57 ford 272/292/312's "CLACK/CLACK/CLACK").
Call the next liar up!

edski,
I agree with you completely even today flatheads will only make 200 HP N/A, they run out of air about 4500 RPM. But with their big stroke they pull hard up to 4500. With a turbo it fixes them like any other low VE engine and will double or triple the HP.
Back in the day inlines ruled on short tracks,good breathing big stroke etc.
I would love to see someone build a turbocharged INLINE flathead of some kind I think it would really work well, actually Bruce Crower did it at Bonneville a few years ago.
Everyone is going to freak out about this, but I think the flathead is the best designed combustion chamber as far as combustion efficency.
Don't get me wrong I still love INLINES the most, nothing is better than dusting a V8 with a SIX.
Someday soon every engine will be TURBOCHARGED!!
