I always liked the idea of that big flathead. So much engineering for such a short life span though. Have read they weigh around 850#. An early Chrysler Hemi is only 100 pounds lighter. A friend had a F-8? with one in it, the radiator probably weighed more than I did at the time. He had a spare engine from a Lincoln, it looked so odd with a P/S pump bolted to the head. Would make an interesting swap if well executed $.
