FLATHEAD BUILD UPDATE
All that’s left is to install the velocity stacks, finish the spark plug wiring and to fabricate an adjustable mount for the alternator.

OUR FORD FLATTIE
Here’s an update on the ongoing build of our Ford Flathead 8BA. I’ve been holding off the start of the article series until the engine is 100% complete. The build is nearly done, with only ignition and the alternator work remaining, so you’ll begin to see this build in all of its anal detail in the very near future. I must admit that building this flattie has posed more of a challenge than I could have imagined. Of course, that’s primarily because I’m not simply slapping it together. More time than you care to imagine has been spent in the details, but since I’m targeting this build as a nice street rod application example, the details are important.
