Trouble free flathead with more horsepower,
By
This review is from: Flathead Fever (Paperback)
There are three books in this series and should be considered a set as they compliment each other (Flathead fever, Street flathead, Flathead tuning).
These books are not for the beginner,you will not find basic engine rebuilding here,there are plenty of books available this subject.These books are strictly flathead/sidevalve v8 specific. Mike Davidson provides all the latest information you'll need to build a flathead for street or the salt flat with the facts and figures to back up all his suggestions,no myths here.

Digging deeper into the flathead and it's power potential,
By Ted (Cody, WY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flathead Fever (Paperback)
Mike, as an Aussie, has a little different take on parts and suppliers than those of us stateside, but if you want a little more technical approach than more basic books, check him out. He now manufactures some of the items he mentions, though he doesn't tout them. His flowbench info is great, and using some basic math tells you pretty close to what a modified motor would show on a dyno, for a lot less dough. I'd give five stars, but anyone using a powerglide behind a flathead just seems a bit too much to this geezer.
