FORGET the flathead. No cubic inches or power there. They were big back in the 40's and 50's before the hemi's and other high performance OHV engines came along.

There are no clearcut answers...what every the person put under the hood...454, 502, or 540 are likely options....

How bout the new crate 572. Part # 12498827 with a 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. It called fictionally a ZZ 572 / 720. In layman's terms that's 720 hp. @ 6,200 rpm.
