This same transition went on years ago when the SBC started replacing the flat head Ford. I stuck with flatheads for a long time & finally changed over. You got as much power out of a stock SBC as you did a full house flathead Ford. I am going to stick with the SBC because that's what I know. I am too old to learn new stuff. Those old flatheads were still the best looking engines with finned aluminum heads & 2-3 97's on it.
