Flatty Or 283 For My A-sedan? . . .

I don't know where that overheating complaint came from but I hear about it often.My '50 ran for years without a problem and friends with souped flatheads never over-heat.I agree that if it is a problem it can be cured easily. -Strat.

 

So, Deuce Roadster runs 130-plus mph on the highway. Damn! I'm impressed. Other than Pappas & Stevans with their El Mirage/Bonneville-prepped race piece, only a few flathead hot rodders have been able to run close to that fast in true street roadsters throughout hot-rodding's history.
