Customer Reviews

One of the best flathead ford books
Great info here! If you have an interest in flatheads - for future use or historical perspective, buy this book. Great info here. It's basically a collection of articles written by many of the greats of past & present: Kong Jackson, Barney Navarro, and many, many others. Over 200 pages of info and black and white photographs. It is the only book that looks at the same engine from so many points of view, and has such a broad scope of information. If I could only buy one flathead book, this would be it.

An in depth look at our favorite flatmotor
If you're a flathead lover, you should own this book. There's a great deal of reference material in the front half of the book, and interviews including building suggestions from THE Barney Navarro, Don Francisco, Joe Reath, Tony DiCosta, Kong Jackson, Ron Ceridono and a great piece on Kenny Kloth, a real hands on guy who has doctored a STOCK BODIED '49 Merc coupe and unblown engine to run over 140 mph at Bonneville. That, friend, is an almost unbelieveable achievement. Tiny T bodied 296" Merc motors had a hard time doing that in the 1950's. These geezers know their flatmotors! Listen in!
