I mean, dodge built flatheads for the M37 (for instance) in the 230 size well into the late sixties.

What about those heads? Wouldn’t they have even higher compression than the 57-59 engines?

Or did the technology just sort of
Fall Off after the V8 came onto the scene?

I mean, 57-59 seems about the last years you can find data on the engines HP ratings.

Assume then the engineers sorta “froze” the design and just kept making them with no more HP increases until cease of production?
