My dad swore by the Mopar flatheads,from the 221 in our '41 Dodge to the Chrystler Industrial on the irrigation well. My first was a 216 in a '48 Chevy that lured me away from Ford flatheads. The Blue Diamond In my '40 Firstnational 2-3 ton flatbed amazed me hauling barn wood over Carson Pass! The 270 GMC that I built in '78 and still drive daily is my joy. There was an 8N Ford with a Funk conversion to a big(?) Ford industrial 6, and the built Corvette carbed 261 in my '40 Chevy pick-up. I work in an auto parts store and it's sometimes hard to beleave how many Ford 300s are out there and how few 292s. The best inline 6 is the one your building or driving!
