Well I guess I'm wrong. I'd like to see a flathead that makes one HP per cubic inch flathead on gas. I nolonger have the eqipment I used for my testing, so I can't comment on these reselts with any acury. I agree with the HD engine design as we looked at it back then. The Grancore heads were similar with a pop up piston. someone out there has them, Ford factory relieved blocks didn't last long and were designed to limit detention. I was told. But they never included it in the late engines or the 337. The French were just copying it.
Everybody has an excuse for their actions and beliefs , I stand corrected.
