Hi there!
Have heard that the 251/264 flathead six as used in the Dodge trucks is the engine to look for when seeking a flathead to re-build & "hop-up", as they were outfitted for "severe service" from the factory.
Question: which size Dodge trucks from which years would I find the larger engine in?
Also, there is a '53-'56 Dodge pick-up(1/2ton) available to me for whatever parts I wish to scavenge (body is shot!), would the pick-ups have had the 251 six or only the 230?
The project car is a '41 De Soto, which is the same as the 6 cylinder Chrysler.
