In regards to your question regarding the overheads and heating, the Ford/Mercury Y-Block engines introduced in 1954 did not have the heating problems that the Flatheads were noted for. Factory air was supplied on some of those early overheads with simply a multi-bladed fan and a shroud being needed to aid in the cooling.
