I've recently gotten interested in the Ford flatheads, and have bought a '49 F6 and '52 F6 truck. One has the flat 6, and the other the flat V8. There are several places selling used and reproduction parts for these things, and one of them has for sale some of the "French" flat-heads that were mentioned in the other post. Seems to be lots of interest by hot-rodders in the flatties again. They do have a beautiful sound!

With some more horses I might be able to use a Brownie aux trans, and get another 28% top speed.
