Is it a pretty simple bolt on procedure, or is there a lot of tuning involved?
One other question. How much HP gain is the OHV compared to a 7:1 flathead? I'd hate to spend a sizable amount on an OHV, when I could get similar power out of a flathead setup, or am I just delusional thinking it'll even be close? lol
Thanks again!

The installation was a simple bolt-on. The tuning was also simple.
The head on a full pressure "B" produced 115 hp with two 97 Strombergs. It produced about 90 hp at 2800 rpm with the dual carbs and other equipment I had on it. Personally, I would de-tune it and and target 80 hp at 2800 rpm. At this output, the head, crank and other drivetrain components should be very reliable.
Good Day!
