215 six

Howdy,
I'm building up a '52 215 ohv six to be flathead killer and was wondering if anyone has seen or heard of speed parts for it other than multi-carb intakes and headers. I'm kinda interested in stuff from the 50's and 60's, but my pride won't stop me from using 21st century wizardry although my wallet might.

Mike
52 F2 dual carbs, milled head, 6v Mallory ign(soon to be 12v)

I think your gonna find HP parts for the 215 I6 limited to headers and intake, if there are even many performance parts at all for it. What is available will probably be spendy. I dont know if you wanted to consider this, but maybe putting a newer 6 may be an option for you, like the 240 or 300. I know there are perfermance cams, distributers, carbs/intakes, and headers for these motors, and Im sure even more. Just my thought.

Had I thought about it, I might have gone the 300 route but I managed to find the parts to rebuild the 215 fairly easily and cheap.
