That would have been an easy ‘bolt in’…..but it never happened!

However these days, with fuel prices being what the are, the idea isn’t that far fetched!! 😉

As an aside… a Stude pal of mine once swapped out a flathead six in a ‘55 Champ coupe with a tall ‘64 overhead valve six…

I thought he’d never be able to close the hood over that engine, however, the hood shut with no problem!

The president of the local SDC has a 57 Silver Hawk with a flathead.  Surprised to see that when he opened the hood.
