Cam manufacturers focus on Chevy/Ford/Dodge and let's face it, they pay more attention to flatheads than BMC's........ 
I’d love to build a 5 port, BMC 1275, ’27 turtle-deck T with a Track nose, but, yes, the Flatty tends to get the nod in the vintage department.
And while the SCTA doesn’t declare it as such, this design is vintage.
Speaking of springs, I’ve got a set of Kawi KZ1100 drag bike valve springs en route. The new valve guides are installed, Phil at APT did a back cut on the valves, and I should see the head by late next week.
I remember Captthundarr asking about valve pressures. Seems my Cranes are a little on the light side - ~70 lbs on the seats, 215 open. We’ll see what the Kow springs bring to the table – I’m expecting 100+ on the seat, and 250 or more over the nose.
I need to pass on a huge "thank you" to Fordboy – he’s taken an interest in this engine combination equal to, and perhaps exceeding my enthusiasm for it. For the last two weeks, we’ve been talking across the “Cheddar Curtain” in a Perestroikaesque manner, seeing past the usual antagonisms Wisconsinites and our neighbors to the south normally have (Football is off the table), and as a Wisconsinite, I will say that I’m ready to negotiate with tourists.
So I’ve invited him up for dyno day, April 21. The beer's on me.
I’ll warn you ahead of time – the car looks better in pictures than it does in real life.
Pics as parts arrive.
