Default Re: Yp grating the flathead

Drove my 59A flathead engine block cross country and back coast to coast twice so far with a blower on top as one of the engine options and original ARDUN overhead valve heads. Highway speeds all day long as needed. No problems at all. Any Ford flathead block can easily accomplish this if its build correctly.
