Yes. Ford started selling OHV six cylinders in 1952 (and OHV V8s too, but in Lincolns and big trucks). Don't judge, the engine is pretty grimy right now.
I find it interesting to read stories about 215s and 223s outrunning flathead V8s. I do pretty well in overdrive in the flatlands of Texas. However, higher elevations and long hills are a different thing altogether. I vividly remember driving on the tour during the 2013 Early Ford V8 Club Grand National meet in Lake Tahoe. I was
the slowest old Ford up
Nevada Stage Route 207.
