Nice engines ya got there.Sure glad to see someone fixing older engines and not a SB something or other.I have had old mopars with flatheads that seem to run forever as long as you kept oil in them and had a electric fuelpump so they didn't vaporlock in the summertime.Wish i had bought that set of Fenton headers at the local wrecking yard back in the late 1960s for the small Mopar L-heads. I have always liked inline engines.Chevy 235/261s,Mopar flat and slant sixes,GMCs,Hudson and Ford 215/223/262/240/300 sixes.For you who are building 251 and 265 Mopar sixes is some information that might be helpful to you.They come with both cast and forged steel cranks.Most of you already know that.They also come with cast and steel camshafts.Engines used in alot of heavy machinery came with gear driven camshafts,instead of sprockets and a chain.Some in larger trucks came with factory dual carbs.In the real big trucks they had engines with 370 and 413 cubic inches with factory dual carbs and factory dual exhaust.They were also flatheads.I have a friend with a 1947 5 ton Dodge with the 413 engine,5 spd.trans,2 speed rearend and a 2spd.Brownie box.The truck is 13,000 pounds empty.Big as any Diesel rig and rolls down the freeway with them with no problem.He has owned in since 1969.They also built a Sherman Tank during WWII that had five Chrysler six engines in it,for a total of 30 cylinders.Now turn off the light and go to sleep.
