Yards And Yarns

[pallmall]

The Ford Flathead V8 engine is probably the worlds most efficient water heater! Especially the early versions.
But, I still love them.

We always raced our flathead stockcars in second gear, with a hook on the dash to put the gearlever in to stop the box jumping out of gear.

90 mph in second in a tuned flathead with alloy heads and maybe multiple carbs? Maybe, she would be screaming, certainly in top gear it would be possible.
