Back in the '50s I had a couple of 226 flathead Ford engines...a '49 and a '51 and I rebuilt them both, with moderate performance up-grades. Both were dependable and sounded great with headers, duals and Smitty's.

I also know that there were other versions of these engines for trucks, with larger displacements, but have no experience with them. I also don't have any references with truck data. Does anyone have any experience with those engines and do you know what is their potential for street use?


Lord, let me live long enough to do all the projects I have planned!
