landman Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Saw this last week, never seen a turbocharged flathead Ford before. I bet it has a sweet sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I would never have thought of that, but I see no reason that it shouldn't work. Very interesting that someone would combine 80 year old technology with something that is very common today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 It looks like a clean installation, but blow-through setups can be the real devil to tune. I kinda feel sorry for the little engine too. Ford flatheads have an inherent weakness as far as getting rid of heat goes to start with. The water passages are very close to the exhaust ports. Adding a turbo AND AC (especially without going to a cross-flow radiator) really asks a lot of the little guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there must be some interesting linkages in there somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnslow Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Looks like a Holley 4010 mounted backwards , I had a couple of 650s on my blower motor in my 55 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
