This is third generation Hilborn dated back to late 50's but essentially the 1950 version. The HILBORN F.I./32-53 FLATHEAD, part number: 385239F8A, is not street friendly, simply race.

This setup is made for a clean and old skool look. This prodcut has been on the market for as long as the flathead has been around and works good for drag racing.
