Default Re: Could Edelbrock cast a flathead block

the flathead eng has one big flaw that is the exhaust gases pass through the block .back in the day the traffic was not like it is today.it,s a hard eng to keep cool in heavy traffic. i know there guys that say thers run cool. have they ever been on the l.i.e or ca freeway at rush hour if you want to drive your car every day in heavy traffic which is just about every where. it,s not a good choice. i hate to say this but you can get a sb chevy a lot less then a rebuilt flathead . & go every where but if you just want to drive to car shows or back roads the flathead is great. or you live in a low traffic area
