Reverse Flow Induction Small Block Chevy



Runs on E85 uses Flathead V8 Crab distributor (with original points), 2 racks of Honda 750 motorcycle carbs, remote water pump, and remote radiator - No external moving parts.

When we were building it many people including the vehicle owner had serious reservations as to if it would run. I mean we had a lot of modifications going on all at one time. Putting a modified Flathead V8 dist on a SBC timing cover, The motorcycle carbs converted to E85, My refusal to utilize a fuel pump ( Uses Gravity for fuel supply) designing the cam and using half a dist to run the oil pump, Dumping the harmonic balancer, coming up with a PCV using the old crossover passages etc etc



My standard response was that if it didn't run we could push it down to arts and crafts and it would still be cool.



I would say about 25% of the folks that walk up to the car do not believe it runs and a significan't amount of people want to argue with me that all I did was use a boat camshaft.



My favorite is looking at the distorted faces on the hard core guys that see it the first time. Its like looking at someone in pain.
