I saw this today at the bad boyz car show. I only had my phone for a camera so its crappy quality. I guess it would work but why would you do it?

'68 longbed · 07-14-2007, 11:36 PM

took me a minute to figure out what i was looking at ....reverse flowed the heads.

I see it from time to time on motorcycles. to my knowlege it works fine. I'd do it just to be different.

seen it done with a flathead once, i think it was on the net tho. I wonder how that works though? what about the valves, just have smaller intake, larger exaust valves now?

Bishops Trucks · 07-15-2007, 05:05 AM

Dare to be differant. That's what it's all about.

cdowns · 07-15-2007, 07:09 AM

i've seen a number of those type conversions over the years/ flathead fords buicks and chevys,, mostly they were done for rear engined rods and streamliners and indy cars

FRENCHBLUE72 · 07-15-2007, 10:08 AM

Looks pretty cool seems like it would work well to get people talking

OlChev67 · 07-15-2007, 01:22 PM

I think that is really cool. maybe just turn the distributor or custom cam.

**special-K** · 07-15-2007, 09:18 PM

What?I don`t see anything unusual.Oh!!!Ha ha,the distributor.

eedgell · 07-15-2007, 09:46 PM

If so, then the intake valve is now exhaust, and the exhaust valve is intake? Not much to gain other than gossip.?

odie82 · 07-15-2007, 10:26 PM

I have seen that car around also, its always a conversation starter

redneckgirl · 07-16-2007, 01:26 AM

I'd love to hear it!!!

JAKES 68GMC · 07-16-2007, 08:15 AM

Thats friggin sweet, I bet it has one hellacious bark.

racerman85 · 07-16-2007, 10:16 AM

Is that the distributor on the front of the engine, in place of the waterpump? It looks like it to me... If so, it looks like he just runs the distributor off the front of the cam, but then what about the water pump? That is so amazing, in my opinion! What an awesome ride!

Scott68-93-97 · 07-16-2007, 10:56 AM

It looks like he may have run an electric water pump below the motor judging off the hoses on the side of the timing cover wear the water pump used to go, thats a cool ride, definently different.

**68 Stepside** · 07-16-2007, 05:19 PM

Absolutely wicked, I'd love to see more pics of that thing.

NONHOG · 07-17-2007, 05:05 PM

I guess that answer's the "can I run motorcycle carbs" ? even if it runs like crap (may not) it look's so cool it'd be worth it !
