Like putting a dress on a pig. Still a pig. A lot of work for 10hp and 10mpg! Got no use for a flathead. I drove one for 15 years. I'll keep my Poly 318 thanks. 260hp and 20mpg. Even a 440 gets 8mpg, but 440ft.lbs. I get the nostalgia aspect, just not practical for me. Ardun heads on a Ford fleathead, ya, but then it's a OHV Hemi.
