Hi, are you referring to the 337" Lincoln V8's or the flathead V12's?

If you are asking about the 337 V8 let me get in here quick before the naysayers shoot it down. The 337 is a large and advanced Ford Flathead engine.

There are features on the 337 that are very good. A few key ones are obviously the ample cubic inches. To go with the added cubes there are improvements to the breathing of the engine to feed those cubes.

The negatives are that they are bigger and heavier than the regular Ford Flathead. They are about the same size as the Caddy flathead V8's but better. Nobody bats an eye about their heft and the Cads were used in some hot rods back in the day.

The Lincoln 337 engine conquered "La Carerra Pan Americana" a couple times powering the cars through a tremendous torture test.
