Let's get this back on track... We're talking Flatheads here and looking for info/advice that pertains to them.

The engine has to be naturally aspirated. I will be using the Stromberg 250's.
I will be using SCAT H-beam rods.
Ross forged pistons with metric ring pack and undetermined CH pin location.
Edelbrock 1115 heads, this has been cleared with SEGA rules.
Cubic inches have yet to be determined.
Lots of porting in the block is to be expected.

I understand that a smaller engine can produce more HP per CI, but I need HP and torque to get to the end quickly. Bigger engine should do that better, right?

Nevermind the class limits of H/Gas, let's just think vintage drag racing to keep this going.
