The German Flathead. A wonderful piece of machinery. I ran a stock one in my 40 coupe. 239 cu in. The sweetest smoothest flathead I have ever ran. It does have an aluminium sump, but the bosch starter is not particularly swap friendly with the solenoid sticking out like that. The mounting is not compatible with normal flathead starters. I used the flywheel, sump and starter from a 59A.
