back in the '50s i built a couple of flathead six cylinder fords. they were great engines and with a set of dual exhausts, they sounded as good as any chevy. i really irritated a few flathead v-8 boys by beating them at the drags. i lost as much as i won, but winning over a v8 was especially sweet! rated at only 5 hp less than the v8, i had the benefit of better low-end torgue. i'm sure your 5-speed conversion has been very worth while.......
