| In this book Mike relates in great detail the methods used to build two versions of the Ford Flathead engine. One is mildly modified for increased performance in a street driven hot rod, with occasional outings to the drag strip, while the second is an all out race engine for the salt flats, where Mike's knowledge has been proven with speeds in excess of 175 m.p.h. in a roadster! A multitude of photos and diagrams make this an easy to follow and understand book that contains a wealth of important information for the Flathead enthusiast. Advances in technology mean that much of the new speed equipment and accessories for the Flathead have never been covered before in any book. In many respects Flathead Fever breaks new ground. | |
