In my probably narrow minded opinion, if your PW is
in good and original condition, I would stay with the flat-head
six. The old six is part of the PW mystic. I have
a '41 military which I have driven all over the state
over the last 25 plus years. These trucks are low geared
so your highway speed would not increase without the
engine reving in the 3-4000 rpm range. Have a '57 PW
which I am currently working on. Both have the 230 cid
flat head six. Have seen a number of v8 conversions over
the years, none of which appeal to me. Ultimately, of course,
it is your truck and your decision.
