If it was mentioned I missed it.....
What’s the cubic inch? Around 280ci. I don't remember exactly, but somewhere in the 280's.

back in the late 40's-early '50's 300+ real horsepower would have been a big deal. put that engine in a 2000lb or less roadster and you could have a real hot rod for it's time era.
several years ago a friend gave me some early hot rod mags. I found them to be a real gas to read. one of the mags is Hot Rod Your Car, copyright was 1952. back then Racer Brown was the tech editor for Hot Rod magazine. they go thru all the American engines at the time and it really gives an insight on how these guys did things with virtually no tech. to know what I know now and to have a time machine.

My only experience with a flat head ford was with my neighbor. He’s building an “A” hotrod. Wanted me to relive the block. I had no idea what he was talking about, until he showed me😀. Turned out nice.
I've actually done a lot of flatheads, and flowed a half dozen or maybe a couple of more and relieving the chamber is bad. Very bad. They also LOVE 50 degree seats. Wrong very wrong. On a full race or blown flathead there are benefits to relieving. Don't believe me check out joe abbins books he does extensive flow testing.

I still want someone to explain how they flow test these. No answer on that one yet.

One guys approach. Others have cut up a scrap block so they can set the cylinder on top of the flow bench. Others have made a model cylinder out of wood and put in metal valve seats to experiment with seat angles and machined a test head out of plexiglass.
