  1. Looks like a '49 - '53 based on heads and ignition. With even such a small blower, I'd want a "block girdle" for that center main bearing. Tough to beat a flathead V8 for looks in a fenderless roadster in any case.

  2. Not familiar with the older flathead, but does this have three exhaust ports per side? -D Thomas

  3. Center pipe catches two cylinders. Trying to figure why there is wiring on the exhaust and the fuel line is unhooked from the fuel block?

  4. Looks like the street plugs have been off a few times, judging by the paint next to them.

  5. Old school all the way.

  6. Wouldn't that extreme right angle cause excessive back pressure when the straight pipe is plugged?

  7. Those headers kill power even open. Watched a test of a bunch of different designs, this type was the absolute worst. Look cool though.
