Frenzel Supercharger on 8ba Ford Flathead in 1930 Ford Roadster - Stromberg 97, Isky 400 jr cam
This re-issued Frenzel Supercharger is running fresh Stromberg 97’s, Isky 400jr cam and our new gears and pinion from @gearcutting
Made of EN36A case hardened & precision profile ground
The custom Frenzel pinion is cylindrically ground to aid too balance and provide absolute trueness of the pinion.
We could of adapted of the an off the shelf gear and married that into a shaft to create the pinion - but it wouldn’t be true to the authenticity of the product
- A true re-issue of the original from the original
Speed Equipped 🏁🏁

That is one crazy setup. Never heard of a Frenzel. Beautiful A.
Got to love just the sound of a old flat head going down the road
Thats one bad ass ride!!!
Just from the looks department it looks bananas! Dream machine! 👌🔥❤️🇺🇸
Sounds like a vintage warbird, very nice.
Some crazy technology for times, we sometimes forget how they even that early on they felt the need for more and more power, and speed.
Well it’s rumoured the first auto race happened five minutes after the second car was made
AMAZING! So happy to see a Ford Flatty. And a supercharger I've never heard of. @ 0:50, she must've broke the sound barrier! There was no sound! Cheers Mate. Your cousin Yank in Maryland, John
Thanks John !!!
That has POWER. Sounds like it's ready for Take Off on RW/3. Nice man, nice. Now it needs a custom hood to keep out the crud.
That's what the mesh coverings over the carbs are for!
Cool. 😍
Pretty fancy..but does it make a good Expresso ?
Looks super nice, but sounding a bit strange. Wonder where the generator is mounted?
Dam !,,
Seems like Ford and boost were meant to be together
Great grandad to the Barra
Why the 59AB heads on an 8BA?
Afraid to stand on it...big whoop! 🙄
But can it djent?
The flathead V8 put out 65 HP without the supercharger, so I don't think this would be melting the tires.
Putting aside the later 60 HP 136, only the 1932-1934 221 flathead did 65 HP. The flathead got more powerful every couple years, with improvements in breathing and fuel delivery, and of course, increases in cubic inches. The 221 peaked at around 90 HP, the 239 got to 125 HP as did the Mercury 255, and the 337 got up to 155 HP when the flathead was discontinued in 1951. Being low compression engines, the flathead takes to turbo- and supercharging very nicely, and a blown one will produce 300+ HP, with some drag and salt flat cars putting out even more still. But even so, HP isn't the whole equation...A 65 HP car can do 200 MPH with the right gearing. It won't get there fast, but with enough road they can still get fast enough to melt the tires.
@@barrysnell6775 Melting the tires refers to initial acceleration rather than high speed. Thanks for the very detailed flathead history lesson.
@@johngallagher912 Sure, but your point in using that phrase was the implication that Ford Flatheads didn't have enough power. But even then, 60 HP is still enough power to spin the tires in a light car with the right gears...And T/A roadsters were about 1,200 pounds with the straight 4, so they'd probably be 1,400-1,500 pounds with a flathead V8. That's not very heavy. And with skinny vintage tires with a small contact patch, a good first gear, not to mention most of the weight is up front, you could smoke the tires all the way down the block on 60 horses. Teenagers didn't start putting flatheads in Model Ts for nothing, after all. 😉
I’m 😂r😢
