Cadillac had a flathead V-8 until 1949. Flathead engine blocks are wider than those for OHV. Putting exhaust and intake on the same side of the block is tricky with a V-8. Making passages through the block in order to put intake and exhaust on opposite sides of the block increases bulk of the block and makes for poor flow through those passages.
