Thats a neat sight. A little more info for you on the 215: the truck engines were painted a light green and were known as the CostClipper Six.
For its time it had a very hot cam, intake opens at 18*BTC and closes at 68*ATC with a duration of 276* and the exhaust open at 55* BBC and closes at 22*ATC with a duration of 267*
(from the Sept 1952 issue of SPEED AGE magazine)
It was rated at 101hp @ 3500 rpm (91hp @ 3400 for trucks). With my mods, my little truck puts out approx. 125hp at 3500 rpm according to my Dyno 2000 simulation program.
Just enough to make a flathead V8 go back and count its cylinders
BTW, it resides in 1952 F2.
