40 flathead with finned heads

Drug this out of the attic where it's been since the late 70s,it has finned heads and was that a short lived option. Never seen them on any of the 60s versions I rebuilt.

They were added to the seventies’ “Street Rods” issue of the AMT ‘40 Ford Coupé kit. For some reason they haven’t been included in any subsequent reissues.

I recently shared some pictures in this discussion thread: https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/126388-amt-original-hot-rod-kits-engine-options/page/2/#comments

From a detailing standpoint they’re quite crude and not correctly centered, but if you look past that, they add a certain oldschool coolness to nostagic Hot Rod builds.
