[Land-speed] Ford Flathead

[Joe & Lynne Lance]

Why is the flathead Cad the "answer"?

If I remember the flathead Cad had the exhaust ports parallel to the intake
ports and exiting at the top of the block.  Is that an advantage compared to
the Ford flathead?

Apparently there are at least three people who believe the Flathead Cad is
the
answer. And plan to prove it in 2011. As the Cad is over 325 cid it will run
in XXO with the 375 cid limit. OHV engines otherwise legal for XO and
between
325 and 375 cid will also run in XXO. XO legal OHV engines with specialty
heads (Wayne - Skinner) under 325 cid also run in XXO as well as OHV engines
that have had ports added by hard work in the backyard by Hot Rodders. I
don't
know about Flathead inline engines with added ports.

Maybe I don't understand the rule I assume there is a place to run a Caddy
flathead should you want to though I don't persoonally.

In real life if you have a standard size Ford Flathead, no one will question
weathr it came from a truck or car. The rule is aimed only at Lincoln based
flatheads. Just as Cad and all other flatheads are disallowed.
