La Crescenta, CA — Highly regarded in the ‘go to’ shop for Ford and Lincoln flatheads, H&H Flatheads has added the rare Wilson & Woods 8BA heads to their existing lines of Austin, Navarro and Sharp speed equipment.
“Hot rodders are always looking for something a little different.” Said Mike Herman, owner of H&H Flatheads that celebrates its fifteenth anniversary this year. “My first acquisition was the Navarro line purchased from Barney who was a great mentor. That was followed by Sharp and then Austin. Recently, the opportunity arose to purchase the Wilson & Woods patterns. Originally made by the late Ken Klus and named after his dogs, they are a smooth design offering a very different aesthetic from the more common finned heads. Polished, they look amazing.”
Cast in Los Angeles from the highest quality T6 tempered A356 aluminum and CNC machined, the 24-stud Wilson & Woods heads are designed to fit the desirable 1949-53 8BA flatheads.
Besides an ever-widening range of speed equipment, H&H Flatheads also offers full machine shop services for classic engines; everything from hot tanking, acid dipping and pressure sealing through all stages of machining to short or full-block assembly.
