-------Everything about the flathead in that rod is cool. I dont think I have ever seen a set of those heads. They reposition the plugs.......a lot. Blower is a Latham and, I think, massively over driven with that huge crank pulley. I also wonder about the cooling. I can see the bottom hoses going forward and down. Would love to hear that thing run. It must really cackle!!! Front brakes are also very unusual......Bill S
