Re: 60 Year Old Flathead Hot Rodding Letter
Quote:"I doub't that big engine would have stood up long on a circle track as short stroke has more rpm, long stroke has more torque."
Old wives tale...We turned 315 ci flatheads 6500 twice a lap and 10 race programs before freshening up. (and still do) That's a 1/2 inch stroke.My last flathead was 323 ci and is still turning 6500 in a vintage sprint car.That's a 7/16 stroke.
