Thanks guys, for the encouragement. Nothing like a mutual appreciation society to make you feel good! You wouldn't believe the flack I've endured from the dyed-in-the-wool chevy street rodders in my family for rebuilding a 50 year old flathead 6. But the cool factor of my car will outshine any 350/350 combo....
Hudson- I got the Holley 5200 carbs from Tom Langdon, he assures me they will be perfect. Do you know anyone else who is running these carbs on a mopar flathead? I'd love to hear from them if you do. I'm the first to admit how little I know about carburation, so I can use all the advice I can get on tuning them. I'll keep the board updated on finishing up the engine and getting it running. As soon as the ice age around here warms up and melts off, I will degrease the block one more time and paint everything. Once that is done, its going back in to the car. Can't wait!
