Time for a couple of strip monsters!




Well, at least he's got a parachute.



How about a flathead? 1930's motor still kicking!

I see you have etched out the number plate on the Chevy.Is it street legal?
Also the flathead V8 only has 3 exhausts each side.Are the ports joined internally?

Of course it's street legal!
Yep, siamese set up. Amazing power from these things, considering its age.

I can only say "adequate". You have to bear in mind these are very old cars!
Certainly enough torque to pick the front wheels up if you felt like it.
