Old-Stf project: 1937 ULH 86" stroker flathead

Here is our new project actually started by my father Rick about six months ago during project 45 build. Unfortunately I failed to get photos and this thread is started late but not to late. Motor is already completely rebuilt starting with a 41up larger crank pin and Truett Osborn stroker wheels which are 4 5/8" stroke and 12 lbs heavier than stock for max torque. It yields 86" at it's current bore, and the finish was left as found. The entire bike will be built "as found" much like the knuckle we did a couple years ago. 1937 is the first year for the u series with recirculating oil pump system. It's also the second year for Harley's four speed and 80" flathead motor. Knucks came out in 36 but only yielded 61" until later years so the big ULH 80" was still prefered by many. The parts aside the gas tanks and motor are the same as a knuckle. Thanks for watching.

Excited to watch this Mike. I like the "as found" direction. Finish by Father Time and Mother Nature.

O boy. Can't wait to see it

Mike, you have the BEST build threads. I'm going to be watching this one for sure!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so jealous, NOTHING like a big flatty.

Away wanted a big flathead, what a great project.

Yesss!

Old-stf builds rock.
