Flathead V8's!
Add VALUE to your Hot Rod or Custom
with a Go Cat Flathead !
your tired Flatty with a Fresh one that will Run Better and have MUCH MORE
Horsepower and Torque than your stocker!
All GCS Flatheads are Custom Built one at a time, not an assembly line process.
Heads and Intakes can be Raw or Polished to a Mirror-Finish.
Why Chose a Flathead, and Why a "Go Cat" Flathead for your car?
First off, it was a FLATHEAD that Won the Very First NHRA Nationals at Great Bend,
Kansas in 1955, AND... it beat out a hemi of all things!!!
Their Heritage and History is unparalleled in dirt track, lake beds, Bonneville,
Drag Racing, Show Cars and Street Cars.
There is Nothing like the Sound and Torque of a Built Flathead.
Stand behind a Mickey-Mouse Chevy motor at your local Cruz Night or car show,
They SMOKE and They STINK !
IS THAT how you want your Custom or Hot Rod to Look and Sound ???
Watch people as they check out a car with yet another (yawn...) chevy engine,
they'll glance at it then walk away.
Now find one with a Flathead !...you can bet there'll be 10 times as
many guys hovering over that Flathead versus that ugly chevy.
Why a Go Cat Flathead?...because they're built by one person, Me!, not handed off
to someone else to finish or make mistakes.
I personally hog out the Intake Runners and port-match them to the Gasket,
plus perform my full-flow-oil trick on each one. The factory had a bit of a "trickle"
effect for an oiling system. With a Go Cat Flathead, it's a True Modern filtering set up.
