List
OK, any of you vintage engine guys ever try a Packard flathead straight
eight? Looks like a Behemoth but weight ain't the issue. Could run XO/ or
XXO/ depending on which block you had to start with.
From what little I know about flathead design the inline would have some
advantage on the exhaust side, but then again it wouldn't be running against
a Ford-V8 anyway. Not Crazy about the Siamesed intakes however.
Then there's the Buick straight or the Hudson 6. Hey and they actually
used to race Hudson's fifty years ago.
