How to Build the High Performance Street Flathead
In his first book titled Flathead Fever Mike Davidson outlined
performance modifications in conjunction with parts currently
available to build a hot street engine, and one for the salt flats.
In this book he outlines how to get a rusted 50 year old
engine apart, what to look for and how to reassemble the
engine. Not looking for every available horsepower, but some
easy to do modifications that will improve the overall
efficiency of the engine that can be done by the average hot
rodder in his garage.
