Burns Prewar Flathead V8 Intake

A while ago I bought this prewar intake and sent it to my good old friend Zach where i collected a pile of parts to ship home to Sweden.

A few weeks ago a big package came!

This is a rare intake you dont see very often.

I found some old adds in Throttle magazine. Btw, worlds first hotrod magazine from 1941!

After my reseach Burns aluminum foundry made 3 versions of their intake.

My intake is the 2nd version from mid -41.
In the early numbers of Throttle you can find the 1st version in adds but I have never seen anyone for real or in a picture.

The 3rd version I have also found in an old add and it is a postwar intake.

Hop Uped 1932 65hp 21 Bolt Flathead

Was bored the other day and while drinking beer I dressed upp my boring original 1932 65hp flathead.

removed the original heads, intake and distributor.

Added my 1934 milled down and polished aluminum heads among a prewar Thickstun tall intake  with a pair of stromberg 97 carbs.
On the shelf I had my 1935 Scintilla magneto with original 21 bolt tubings for the wiring.
Topped my intake with a rare bird.
A NOS Scintilla generator for flathead V8! 
Now it started to look like a real hotrod engine.

Maybe I should restore that one and  use it in my -32 roadster after a long winther of restoring that rustpile?!

Anyhow, the engine still looks good standing on the floor waiting for its turn.
Damn these flatheads looks good!
