Excellent work and detail Ron but the heads are on backward.
I can't see the front of the heads in the pics but the water inlet ports are supposed to be on the front of the heads unless the casting is generic with ports on both ends.

Good eye Hermit, But the heads have water ports on both ends and in the middle on top. I just did`nt put block off plates on the back sides as they will be close to the firewall.

This is good work. I can just hear that monster lunching some little sake-burner and spitting it out the tailpipe.

Bros. Dan and Ron, now that are three of us, we can open!

This is one incredible flathead. The time,parts, and attention to detail is beyond belief!

AWESOME job on this beast.....I'd love to see it dropped into the "Dan Fink's Speedwagon".....but instead of a street rod look a rat rod look ;)
