Flathead Ford

1932–1953. The engine that started all of this.

The original hot rod motor. Parts are scarcer and pricier than anything modern, and cooling is always the problem — the exhaust ports run through the block and dump heat straight into the water jacket. We do not stock much flathead, but we can usually point you to who does.
