Flathead Help

[dirtbag]

I’m looking for a kit that has a good flathead motor in it. This is for a Revell 32 Ford.

The recently reissued 32 Ford Sedan by Revell has a Flathead - and it’ll drop right into any of their variants

Any particular period? Street car? Drag car? Present day nostalgia build? 

There are as many flavors of flatheads as there are ice cream.

the world is your oyster with the flatheads, there must be 100 variations available in 3d prints, the aftermarket and kits. do you want reverse flow twin charged fantasy motor, realistic old speed parts, old school superchargers, if its been done in 1/1 its probably available now.  heres 3 i have in progress for various builds from various designers. the front blown engine has been slightly altered to make a streetable motor as it had nothing for cooling it so its a mix of different designers prints.

I'm not wanting anything that's out of this world. It's a Revell 32 3 window coupe. I've got the wheels & tires lined out. I'm just wanting something that's not too extreme. A kit flathead would be the easiest solution.

Just to add, the flathead in the 32 kit has a C4 automatic transmission.

Revell has nicely done flatties in their '37 Ford truck, '50 Ford truck, '48 Ford kits and '40 Fords, to name just a few.

The flathead in the street rod version of the '50 pickup comes with Ardun heads. The '40 Ford convertible street rod kit has a nice dual carb setup. The '48 Ford convertible 2'n1 kit comes with triple carbs. The '37 pickup street rod has the stock flattie, with optional heads and dual carbs. All have manual transmissions.

As already stated, the recently reissued '32 Tudor has a nice flathead with triple carbs and an auto transmission. With the flathead crossmember from the Tudor kit, the engine will drop right into the 5W frame.

For me, I prefer the flathead out of the 50 Ford truck. It was the Ardun heads and looks right to me.

Thanks for all the help. I've got a 32 Tudor on the way.
