The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Ford Flathead vs small block chevy debate!

I have nothing against an SBC, but when I see one under the hood of a Ford it just takes away the feeling of nostalgia. It has just become too "bellybutton".

If it's a Buick Nailhead, old Cadillac, or vintage Hemi, then it's cool because it combines performance and rarity.

Still prefer a clean Flattie overall.
