John Teresi Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 (edited) John,you make it sound so easy. Incredible work as usual. I vaguely remember this car,but didn't recall it having a flathead. Very cool! John…….Garlit`s ran a couple of Flatheads for different speed records……..I am building the one he ran with a 1950 Blown Flathead………he also built a Hemi for it to go over 300 MPH but,he never used it…….the Hemi and the blown Flathead engines sit on stands next to the Swamp Rat 33 display at the Garlit`s Museum ……..thanks Edited February 17, 2014 by John Teresi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
