What do you call an inline 8 cyl Continental engine that has the valves 
in the block?
An underhead 8 ???

Do you mean flathead engines? A "Flathead" is an old V8 built by Ford Motor
Co! 
I'll bet Briggs and Stratton maybe Continental for big ones. jack

The adoption date for insert bearings in the Chev 6 got me wondering about 
when the last US mfr stopped building flatheads. Seems to me Plymouth still 
was building them into 1960 or so...
