Default Re: I'm considering powering a homebuilt airplane with a Ford V-8 Flathead

I'd go with a stroker assy, 294ci, alittle compression and definitely EFI. This should produce some decent Torque ar 2500. Our first airplane was a 1947 Commonwealth with 85 hp and the ROC indicator was calibrated in furlongs=gs per fortnight, but it was allot of fun to fly..
PS maybe an L-100 cam, naw!!
