My first car was a 50 Ford 2 door with a six. It siarted smoking so i had it rebuilt. It outran
V8s, but sure didn't have "that sound". Next was a 55 I-Block which had a 2/4 split manifold. Kinda sounded like a Ch*** 348. Drove it across country in the mid 60s & it never missed a lick. That being said, i still would rather have a FLATHED V8.
