The old finned aluminum heads were pretty on the old flat heads but flatheads were a real bare when it came to doing a valve job or  adjusting the valves.

Zora Duntov was behind one of the OHV conversions for the flathead Ford V8.  It's too bad that later on all the years he worked for GM they let most of his talents go to waste.
