- Опубликовано: 27 авг 2024
- Yet another oddball engine design by automotive legend Pete Aardema. See for yourself a 1948 Ford Flathead V8 Reegineerd by Pete and Kevin Braun. Pete was put up to the challenge with his cylinder head-making skills and work and came up with probably the one only flathead motor with overhead cams to exist.

These 2 gentlemen are truly engineers...akin to Henry Ford and his first engines.
I hear Henry applauding them right now!
"Let's see if it starts up" starts up immediately. This is super cool 😎 👌
That is epic.
A '48 Ford Camhead.
The 1948 Ford Not-So Flathead.
Backstreet engineering, you cant beat it! I love the ingenuity!
I wish we could make Pete and kevin 30 years younger! I cant believe hes 80 years old, the world needs another 80 years of his blessed work. Maybe we can upload him into a robot, so he can keep designing engines for the rest of time.
Damnnn he 80????
Impressive!!
As usual,fantastic!
Thanks again! Pete and Kevin are always building something out of the ordinary.
Love these guys.
The first motor I worked on was a flathead out of a 47 Ford. I still have the two deuce manifold I found in a local speed shop. Loved and still love the sound of the old flatheads. These guys are incredible innovators and it's a hoot seeing all they have built.
Outstanding
Thank you, Pete and Kevin love building unicorn motors.
Two badass gear heads!!!
_sounds so tamed and matured._
Wow this is awesome
Thanks for watching, Please subscribe and I will continue to upload content.
G'day from West Australia,
😉
Love the creativity guy's,
Just love it🙂👍👍
Just stay turned Steve, We haven't featured his Mega V12 motor =1200 Cubic Inch with 1800HP just yet.
Great job!
🏆top notch job gentlemen
Loving your videos Greg
More cool stuff coming soon!
You can't turn a flathead V8 into Overhead cam. HOLD MY 🍺..😂🤣
Never challenge Pete, he will prove you wrong! Wait until you see his 1800HP Mega V12 motor! soon to be featured!
@@GregQuirin say less bro
Well done to everyone involved in this build, I think that the design and the execution of that design is the essence of what hot rodding is all about.
I love these guys. Awesome work. Super cool.
You guys are killing me
When I grow up, I wanna be THAT guy.
that is sweet
SOOOOOO cool!!!!! Your'e THE MAN!
I'd be interested to see what kind of horsepower it's making. Probably not much more than 150 or so since they didn't have much for a bottom end. Pretty cool project though, plus they got the distributor up when you can work on it!😁
Might make more power just not hi rpm
It's not always about hp.. nothing sounds better than a flathead.
And the builders are waiting on your builds 😆 🤣 😂 I called and left a message from Ohio can't wait to get some cool feed back for my build
Probably a lot more than the old emphysemic side-whacker.
@@guero5847 it's not a flathead though, the sound doesn't come from the bottom end.
Outstanding!
Never say it can't be done unless its beyond the laws of known physics.
Sounds just like my Subaru 2.5!!
then you have problems
Very inspiring bro , keep it up and God bless
Very interesting nice job
Wow, a '48 not so flat head! Same year I was born!
Sure does make a lot of ticking sounds I wonder how well the bottom end will hold up considering they don’t have much for main caps for support
Watched a flatty go 7.70/170 ar B.I.R.!
Lots of valve lash. Won't hurt anything.
It seems that it would damage the valve seats in the head over time with it hammering as well as damaging the valves especially if it’s being rev’d up at high RPM’S and the valves slamming against the head and also causing the valve spring retainers to mushroom and brake. I’ve seen some cases where to much valve clearance has damaged the valve train.
That’s just what I’ve learned over the years working on engines.
It’s possible you use better quality metal for your parts and will have a lesser chance of getting damaged.

Want to say flatties don't make power?
@@jamesaucutt8284 id say you nailed it with quality control or quality of metal and finish. Honda has made many high rpm engines that hold up even with lack of maintenance and wear. Anyone who has owned or worked on a Honda dirt bike as a kid im sure would agree haha
It looked like it is an interesting design project and it would be intereting to see the heads and cam in detail. But I still love the flathead and wish they made the engine today with just a few upgrades.
Interesting project. Do they know how much power it's producing?
Internal combustion.
It's not actually that hard to work out if you know things like the fuel flow.
What type of valve actuation does it have and what type of combustion chamber? Is it bucket tappets or rocker arms?
It's overhead cam so valves are actuated by the cams themselves...
It's overhead cam. It may have rocker arms to keep the profile lower but the camshaft is on top of the engine, as it is in European and Japanese engines, not in the Vee.
FIRST KICK❤❤❤❤
BAD ASS😎👍
Sweeeet
Pete Aardema seems to be the Dr. Frankenstein of OHC
Its funny but it still sounds little like a flat head, which is a good thing.
what did you do with the holes the valves used to fill unless you left them in and added them into the heads Would be nice to see this head assembly apart
TIG weld
It's a secret.
Wouldn’t the new heads just blank off the holes??
How's about a Slant 6 with an OHC and MPI? And if you can keep it from leaking oil, that'd be nice :O)
Slant sixes don't leak oil. The 170 inch version would be OK. The 225 has too long a stroke to be of any use.
@@soaringvulture Don't forget the 198 inch that came out later. If I am remembering correctly the stroke was 3.625. 1/2" longer than the 170 and a 1/2" shorter than the 225. Never had a problem with one leaking oil.
Ive always eanted to design an inline 6 engine that used 2 side valves for the exhaust cooled by the block and 4 intake valves with dual intakes.
So like a reverse flow flathead but the "flat head" valves are only exhaust then you throw 4 intake valves actuated with overhead cams?
@@frjhracing exactly.
where has this guy been hiding???? still cant wait for the sbc overhead cam against the ls shootout
Gears are typically used to move the valve train to the same side of the clutch to get more space to the hood (pedestrian safety).
I got a crazy idea for driver safety. Keep pedestrians out of the road.
@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 The idea, which is more popular where I live, is to let pedestrians cross the road everywhere. They don't have right of way, but sometimes they make mistakes. Herzberg should not die. Speed limit is already 30 km/h on many roads here. Only on 4 lanes you are allowed to drive 50 km/h. I hate drivers who do not choose the left ( inner ) lane to get safety distance from jay-walkers whenever possible.
Outside the city limits is war and radar traps are not hidden and only placed before accident hot spots like sharp turns( they make sense ). I only once got a speeding ticket outside city limits and only because that was a road with farm entries and exits and trees and narrow and really was more inner city like.
@@ArneChristianRosenfeldt Where do you live if you don't mind me asking?
@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 Germany in a city which looks closely at cities in the Netherlands and Kopenhagen.
After the ford cammer,the ford camhead.😁
Cool man. Was this built be for peats shop fire saw. Him alot in street rodder maggzine
How did they plug the old block valve ports?
If he kept the valves in the block, with the extra OHC valves, it could have been a 4 valve engine !😃 Yes, yes, I know compression ratio etc..etc..
I want these guys to to try build a straight 8 out of a Barra 6 from Australia 😁
Pete and Kevin have several irons in the fire right now . There is talk about making a 3rd V12. Meanwhile Kevin is still building the 2 liter and the 369 CI small V12 has some unfinished business at Bonneville for the 2022 season. Thanks for watching! Greg Q
@@GregQuirin That's awesome they are like mad scientists I love it 👌 but I take it they are a bit busy to build an inline 8 in the style of an Aussie Barra turbo 😅
Very interesting but still not sure why do it !
In this case Pete was challenged by a friend who told him he could never convert a flat head into a overhead cam. So he did it to prove a point. He pretty much does this with every motor he builds, It a personal challenge or goal and he enjoys doing what he loves to do most which is build engines from scratch.
Pls tell me this guy is taking applications for internships id work for lunch and a small place to sleep in the corner 😁👏👍
Over head cam !it's the truth for an high perf thermic motor . Chevy understood that only now with the great new engine LT6
Just a quick comment here for the guys that think that the bottom end of a Flatty is weak. Few people know this but the mighty Novi V8 of Indianapolis fame has ties to Ford and shares a three main bearing bottom end design. The Novi eventually was making north of 700 horsepower in supercharged form.
Don't forget oil passages!!
How much more power n torque?
I still want to know about the oil pump in the five cam small block Chevrolet.
I was about to type, "It's not a flat head anymore." Then Pete beat me to it. I'm just wondering what he did with the original valve-train components. Then the question becomes, why use a flat-head block instead of an ohv block?
Someone challenged him and said it is impossible to do so he went out to proved his point.
Not as many people working on flatheads. I started an FE build, but switched when to pre war build when I started tripping over the parts in scrap at my grandpas. The really hardcore people do the same thing with old flathead four bangers, and host hill climbs. Commmented two years later sorry. Take it easy, merry christmas
Is it an interference motor?
Is it a Tornado clone?
That was a straight six. A guy was running one back in the 70's in an outlaw sprint car. Everybody laughed when they saw it. "Ain't no six ever gonna run with small block chevy's". They were right. It didn't run WITH them... it blew them right off the fricking track!!! Almost the same cu in... and had the torque (straight six) to pull right away from them out of the corners. And, he was great at picking the line in and out. He was damn near LAPPING the back of the field in just ten laps!!!
Great bit of engineering. Thing is, people think that putting the camshaft on top of the head is instantly going to create some magical power increase. Well, you first have to know why the cam is on the top. It is put on the top so the valves can be placed at greater angles that assist in better airflow. Unless the valve angles are there, putting the cam on top is nothing but a waste of time and engineering. Looks pretty and sounds good to brag with your mates tho.
It would certainly breathe better than the old side-whacker layout.
Another modern design, awesome. I have wondered for years, when does the American engineers catch up with the 21th century and retire the tractor tech pushrods.
At least you two gentlemen have, just outstanding work!
How about those ls motors that rev to 8000 I don't think overhead cams are needed
@@jimmyreich6593 Take a look how much more power there is in modern engines with dual over head cams and 4-5 valves per cylinder. HP / displacement in modern dohc engines is way superior to any pushrod engine by displacement.
@@MJPilote ls motor is a modern motor
Jimmy Reich Materials might be modern, but the design is not. Not a single modern design engine uses pushrods, for me if it has one cam and two valves it's old school. If it has pushrods, it's prehistoric. And there is no way you can change my mind. First engine I built was an old X flow, I liked the tone of the engine. Next was SOHC pinto, and it was an improvement, after that DOHC Cosworth, and have not gone back from four valves per cylinder. You just can't beat the flow and power from that setup.
@@MJPilote no it is modern cross bolt main caps ,oiling system and on and on
OMG someone release the CAD please 🥺
Sumpin ain't right
Week bottom end.
Pete probably came up with a solution for that already. This was all because someone said it cant be done, so he proved them wrong.
There's a guy running a flatie at the salt flats. He's running 200 MPH, and from the sound of the engine... he's turning it a good 6 grand. But, weAk bottom end... RIGHT.
P.S. It takes 700 horsepower to run 200 MPH.................................................................................................................
Probably has a custom billet crank and hbeam rods. Plenty strong
If everything is balanced properly, and magna-fluxed,
the number of bearings is not a concern....
I wish we could make Pete and kevin 30 years younger! I cant believe hes 80 years old, the world needs another 80 years of his blessed work. Maybe we can upload him into a robot, so he can keep designing engines for the rest of time.
Yeah it sucks we don't have more geniuses like these guys and sucks when they get old
