Which is cooler flathead six or OHV V8?

Flathead six with a BW overdrive. Driven mine 40,000+ miles and it's always got me home.

 

Lots of valid arguments either way. After building my touring I have a new criteria. I ask myself, "self, can I drive this car to the HAMB Drags? West Coast? to BTT50's?" If the answer is no I have to re-evaluate some aspect of the car.

 

If you don't mind getting your doors blown off by a Soccer Mom in a four cylinder Camry. keep the Flathead Six.

 

No, instead, show her your "belly button" as you go past her.

 

this thread is about a year old so I would think the choice has been made.....but this is a HOT ROD site so I must go for the V8!

 

Yes, the original question, on this board, should have been "Hemi or Poly?"

Flattie all day long!!!

 

The mistake is asking. Just build. What's cooler will depend on the radiator and thermostat you match to the engine.

 

six is cooler.......much cooler.....have not everybody

 

V/8, can't remember anyone leaving a flat 6 in anything they put together, back in the day.

 

Had one, flat 6,. In a Willys Jeep pickup. That was enough for me!

 

I like the flat 6 better than a ohv
because they are cooooooooll

 

Either A 265 mopar flatty,[with '38 OD] or V8 poly w torqflite. For a performance inline, a Aussy' Hemi 6

 

Not to many people pull a v8 to put in a flat head 6

 

There is nothing cool about a flathead 6...........................
