I believe there was a short period in the early 50's when the Flathead V8 ran heads up against the Hemi Chryslers. The Flathead was pretty much at its peak of development and the Chrysler Hemi was still being sorted out.

I like to think it was just a cubic inch thing, but maybe there was more to it.
