Read a very interesting article about the famous Ford Flat Head V8: https://macsmotorcitygarage.com/five-quirky-features-of-the-ford-flathead-v8/ What's some things they missed? I never knew that the crank was off set.
Read the article. It was interesting enough to keep my attention the whole way through. They didn't mention that the flathead only had 3 main bearings which is a pretty big overlook.
