I've been doing some reading and I get the impression that the 48-53'ish flathead blocks that were built for use in the F2 and larger series trucks used a block similar to the French design. Is that good information or bad information?
Unless it has one of those big flatheads (339 c.i. or something like that), they all got the same blocks. As Alchemy stated, you got some incorrect info.
