I don't know all the particulars but these are from a dead stop acceleration tests.

Hey I wonder what all you guys who revere the butter block chevrolets so much, would think think about the Ford 4V Cleveland? Those are the engines that the Chevy guys bitched about till they were banned at short tracks where I'm from. Sheesh!

The 4V Cleveland is a great engine, had one in a 59 F100, it had Bonneville gears in back (2. Something) it would fry the tyres so easy, too easy. But man, what an engine!
Still not a flathead though.
