Thank you! In my opinion you can almost any amount of horse power out of almost any engine it just depends on how much you're willing to spend to get it

Well, not exactly. With a flathead there are fairly definite limits unless you go to real extremes. A nearly stock SBC or 5.0 Ford will out perform a street modified flathead. Flathead have major breathing problems and there is really no getting around it. In fact, most older OHV 6s will out perform a flathead if modified properly. To me a flathead is for nostalgia, not for performance (but love seeing what I can get out of them). If I wanted performance in a truck I would go with the six cylinder. Your horsepower comment would apply much more to the six than a flathead.

If I ever get a 1956 IHC ill probably put it in that or even another L if ever like I said, I wouldnt mind getting a 58-61 Travelall later down the road ill save it for that and turbo it, but for this project nostalgia is kinda what im looking for
