Engine is GORGEOUS!!!

 

Thank you!! I think it is turning out nice.

 

Woo Hoo! Now you got to post a video here of I t running.

 

Awesome. Nothing looks as good as a clean and nicely detailed Flatty!!!

 

It's a beautiful sight to behold.

 

That is one nice looking piece of machinery.
What's inside, if you don't mind me asking?

 

Beautiful engine, and the pin-striping is beautiful as well!

 

Looks nice n clean!! Well done

 

I'm drooling, great job!

 

I’ve never had a Flatty but if I do get one I’m thinking I’ll mimic yours!

 

It is a 1949 8CM Mercury 255 bored .60 over with a Winfield 3/4 cam, We went with Edelbrock's powder coated intake and heads with original period correct Holley 94 carbs.

 

nails023,
Outstanding engine! Looks better than mine but, if it runs as good you will have a big smile on your face.

 

Your engine is gorgeous! I noticed the Road Draft Tube is missing. Did you remove it to enable the wiring loom metal tube installation? I'd like my wiring to look tidier but the metal tubes that are sold don't fit with the Road Draft Tube in its original position.

 

He appears to be running a PCV system.

Nice work on the spark plug wiring, Nails! Really shows off the heads.
