When I was in the air force back in the 80s-90s, we had "Coleman" tugs that still had flathead chrysler straight sixes in them. I agree with what everyone is saying, an overhead valve engine breathes easier because it's a straigh shot for the air to come into the cylinder and back out again. I have one of the jeep engines with 1/2 overhead and 1/2 f-head. Rolls-Royce had a simillar design back in the 1950s.
