Some here are saying flatheads aren't that great. Remember it was released in 1932, and probably designed in late 1928. You could argue it was the best engine at the time.

Yeah, by todays standards 60 or 80hp is a nothing, but back then that was something. The flathead was the small block chevy of the 30s, 40s, and 50s. It was the Hot rod engine of choice by the majority until the SBC came out in '55.

Or maybe you should say the small block is the flathead of the late 50s, 60s, even today.

Had one in my 1930 model a, not the fastest but sounded pretty cool.
