Andreas Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 Well, my boy and I finally finished what started as an empty engine block... This one will go in our 51 Dodge Hot Rod together with a TH350... 2-Bolt Standard Bore, New Scat Crank, Vortec iron Heads, Edelbrock Intake & Carb, mild .427 lift cam Should have around 280 HP at the crank. We wanted to build a mild SBC replacing a Dodge Flathead 6 with 100 HP... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P1010034.JPGP1010039.JPG Nothing It's just not an engine that I can go into Autozone and buy spare parts... I WILL keep the old Flathead 6, if I ever sell the Dodge the original engine will go with it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
