Re: [FWDLK] Flathead six side covers (valves)

Hello All,

I want to thank everyone that offered help in finding the cast aluminum side valve covers for the flat six engine. It turns out that no covers were made to fit the longer Chrysler 265 cu. in. block. But, I did find a set of covers for the Dodge block, they are short, but along with the other set that I have, I can cut, splice and weld them to size. It takes four to make two, but at least I get a nice looking side cover.

Now I get to move on to my next project, which is adapting an small block aluminum torqueflite trans behind the flat six. As it turns out I can use all stock Chrysler parts including the adapter to fit all this together. Although Chrysler never put an torqueflite trans behind a flat six in a passenger car, Chrysler did put this combination together in farm combines, street sweepers, and my source industrial fork lifts. Now I'm trying to figure out if I want to modify the converter or not....any suggestions.

Thanks George

Hello All,
Might anyone know where to get or any contacts. leads for the side covers for the six flathead? I have a set of cast aluminum side covers made years ago by Phillips Performance out of Washington State I need to find another on to use to lengthen the two I have so as to be able to fit to the longer Chrysler 256 motor. So I need at least one of the original cast aluminum covers to use for extending the two I have. Anyone help???
Thanks George
