Even the '52 OHV 223CID six could beat a '52 flathead V8 of 239 CID.

And pretty much ANY OHV V8 could whoop up on a flathead Ford. In fact,  
there was the Ardun OHV conversion in an effort to make more HP and keep this  
design alive. Of course, engines like the SBC stomped it so badly, it was 
all  over but the shouting! And yes, I realize Ford went to OHV before the SBC 
came  to be, but there were many other OHV V8s at the time, and Ford 
finally  figured, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!
