I suppose we should hae some ground rules, I'm referring to "Street engines". I consider the engine should be well tuned for power and economy, and many of these engines are running rich, which will cause the rings to fail over time. I do like a beautiful well dressed engine. The Flathead offers a great platform for aesthetics. Unfortunately this can cost a great deal of money. What are your thoughts on intakes??
