Just joined the club, always been a flathead admirer. Don't own a car or truck with a flattie but i did build a motorcycle around one. Attached photo, hope this works...

As one who once built a Bonneville race car around a motorcycle engine, I can appreciate the thought and skill that went into your project. Beautiful!

Very cool, I have a 68 Triumph Bonneville I bought when I was 19, still have it 45 years later.

Thanks for the comments, glad nobody was put off by the unusual usage of a flathead. Looking forward to taking part in the forum, there will be times when i could use some good advice on the ins and outs of keeping the V8 in good working order. The engine has been 100% reliable for the past 5 years. The bike gets used daily, and eventually it will need to be rebuilt, at which point i will very much appreciate any knowledge on getting things done correctly.

I tried to send you a private message but you're apparently not yet set up for that. My son and I will be traveling through WI to Racine in 2-3 weeks and would love to visit with you if possible. Any show and shines going on around that time you'll be at? My email is Dan@Lazy69Ranch.com
