[FWDLK] Fw: [FWDLK] Newbie & Flat Heads

[Allen Faltus <afaltus@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have a 47 Plymouth with the later 230 cu. in. six.  The same engine as in 
the 55 you are talking about.  It has dual carbs and headers from Red's 
Headers especially built for the 217-230.  He used my car to create a 
pattern for the headers which he now sells.  You can reach Jim at 760 343 
2805.  I think I used his 24 inch glass packs and the exhaust sound from 
this combination is the best 6 cyl. I have ever heard.  I have two others 
that don't even come close.

Allen
