<VV> any known flat 8 - Not Much Vair - Off Topic - Et Cetera

[ScottyGrover at aol.com]

Heaven knows the old flathead Ford is durable (thousands of hot rods  
proving this out) but with only 3 main bearings?? And with the exhaust port  
running through the head ? Although this can be corrected by swapping the intake 
 and exhaust systems and making an entirely new cam and changing the  
valves.)

The  classic Ford flathead V-8 doesn't weigh a lot, especially with 
aluminum  heads -- anyone ever think about putting one in the back of a  
Vair?
