[Gmecm] flathead ford files?

[David Allen]

Adrian, the car belongs to a friend of mine who is a member here. I expect he will chime in on the intake, because he knows more about it than I do.

It is a custom-casted manifold base. There were several (tens or hundreds?) made in Australia many years ago.

The upper part (the plenum) is a part of an Offenhouser small-block chevy manifold. The LIM was casted with the matching openings for the Offy plenum.

  Hi David,

  Did you make the manifold or have it done somewhere?
  It is a great looking job, keep us informed with your progress please.

    I have done this! Got a 1944 4.0L Ford / Lincoln flathead running under TBI with 1227747 ECM.

    The car hasn't been tuned or driven yet because the clutch and brake pedals and shifter aren't ready. The manifold is a real work of art.

    Some pictures are here:

    The only problem is, the engine has an awful cam in it and I don't think it will ever run smooth unless this is replaced.

    Sincerely,
    David

      I don't know but it would be a favorite of mine as I have always loved the old "Flat Heads", first engines/cars I ever worked on.

               Hey with the nostalga craze, I wonder if anyone has done a old ford flathead  using a gm computer--there are electronic distributors on the shelf for them.  maybe something like a 3.5 rover hotwire system would be the closest, but yes im aware rover uses lucas stuff.
