Flathead Dodge/Plymouths - 11/01/03 11:02 PM
A friend and I were discussing the merits of these old engines. He dosen't agree, but I believe you could get pretty good performance with one, with dual or triple carbs, a little port and valve work, some more compression and the right cam. With their low-rpm torque, it seems to me that with a 5-speed and optimum rear-end gears, decent mileage could be gotten, too. I'd like to hear from anyone who's experimented with a Dodge or Plymouth flathead.
