Flat head question (sorry)

There was two versions of the flathead V-8, the 60 hp and the 85 hp. the pic you posted shows a flatty with a blower (obviously) but with stock heads. Arguably, the heads were the biggest upgrade you could make on these engines. Vic Edelbrock Sr. made himself famous by making aftermarket heads for the flatty that really woke them up. Then Arkus Duntov and his brother, along with designer George Kudasch really knocked it out of the park with a hemi head overhead valve conversion for these motors called the ArDun. Those heads are legendary and are the holy grail for flathead guys.
