Used to own and couple of fords with the Flatheads in them. Also worked a a bunch of them for friends and customers, great sounding, easy to work on, just my favorite engine of all time. Classic !!! ![]() ![]() ![]() And the best part was you could mount them in a Ford Tractor like this one was. Ready to plow the fields? ![]() ![]() |

X2!!!!! I go to hotrod shows all the time and see fords with chevy small blocks in them.....so unoriginal. Its nice to see a flat head where its supposed to be. Only other good engine/car combo would be a 30 ford with a desoto engine. My dad had a tractor just like that......its long gone now but a great work horse. Great grandpa bought it. That tractor was driven by me, my dad, and his dad. |

Nice flat head and tractor too. My x father in law had a Ford tractor like that except it had a 4cyl in it. I drove it all over the farm. Don't recall any specifics about it but it was a 1950 something I think. Couldn't kill the sucker. Really good tractor. Looking at the hood brings back memories. It is long gone now. I must be getting old........... ![]() |

I've never had any experience with the Flatheads...probably cause I'm too young unlike the poster of this thread..... ![]() ![]() |

The last one I had was in a 49 Ford, back in 89. Did some little tricks to it and it would do pretty good, surprised a lot of people at lights, ( not that I have ever in my life street raced ![]() I'm still trying to find a pair of Evans heads for one. Finders fee for anyone finding some that are reasonable! ![]() |
