I kinda wish that the '49 Ford had an updated version of the flathead V8.
I hear you, but, an engine like that really could only be specific to that car, so, the bean counters would undoubtedly go NUTS (and, sadly, they'd be right in doing so). But then, I ain't sayin' anything you don't already know!
Real world, I'd like to have seen the '49' engine bay designed with room for several of Ford's crate engines…not just the manditory 4-banger & mild V-6 "grocery getter" power plants. I’d ALSO like to have seen at least ONE ‘Stang “go fast” engine option!
That car kudda been soooooooo kool on soooooooooo many levels...:willy:willy:willy
