Don’t forgot to swing by the booth this year at the Grand National Roadster Show. Come see the latest parts and builds.

Here is a great write up by the team at Hop Up magazine

Here at Hop Up we try to bring you the cutting edge goods as soon as they hit the market , you know , the stuff that really matters not the crapola that the other guys push , this is the stuff we dream about putting on our own cars and using in our builds. Thats the difference. Im personally excited about this , when I heard the excitement from Mike on the phone when he said he got the patterns for the Dixon SOHV heads. Ive seen a few pairs in collections , but now he’s going into production again , something that hasn’t happened in decades. He is making it easy to be a one stop shop for flatty stuff for sure as he already is producing most of the heads and intakes from the past.

Anyhow Ill stop sucking him off, cause thats not my job . Im just excited theres another ohv head out there for flat ties thats available. I know I will never own a set of ARDENs but hell Dixons might be in the future if I play my cars right and save my pennies.  The price point is steep , but very reasonable at 7,000 ish dollars for the whole setup. thats a fraction of Arden prices! This is why I think its gonna appeal to the you know,  guys like me and you, investment but still not the price of a house in Georgia. I had a chance to go down when he got a set running on this Blown m engine. It sounded tough as shit. Id like to see real numbers against the Arden with the same cam rotating assym and blower. Get the real hard facts on HP and torque would be real nice , blown or un blown.  We will see if we can get Mike to get to the Dyne and sell it to us. Different is easy , but different and putting math to it is better. 

One really cool part to the DIXON heads are that you can run any intake you want , your not confined like you are with the Arden.  2×2 3×2 4×2 blown or whatever you got , it works as the DIXON only moves the exhaust valves to the heads which is one of the flattys accilis heels I think. It sucks but doesn’t blow stock. anything to make these engines breath is a plus!.. well Im sold . Time to start looking into what is in the change jar and start collecting pennies.  The full press release is below the next pic , keep reading from our good friends at H&H Flathead and Tony the lime Thacker. Keep up the great work boys !
