Interesting how Chevy had the "Blue Flame Six" ,which was an L engine, with OHVs while Ford had the flat head V8 in the 50s. Course Henry had a problem in realizing technology advancements.....read "Wheels for the World" and you can get a heads up on that. If he had his way we'd all still be driving his Model T, or was it his A? The flathead did have problems with heat with the valves adjacent to the cylinders and cracks between the exhaust valve and cylinder put many away......mom's for one.........course being a teen at the time I obviously helped that process.
Growing up we had the flathead in mom's car but dad got the OHV V8 in his 56 station wagon. I always like the way a V8 sounded but some guys split the exhaust manifold on the sixes and with glass packs and "4 on the tree" they sounded pretty good, especially winding out in second gear.......course the little Chevy 265 V8 with that setup was unbeatable.........girls thought it was neat too!
