The Olds-Izzit flathead or OHV ? I remember those motors were TINY in displacement-Something like 267 CID-not much more than a latter-day Chevy 6.Of course the 1st Lincoln Zephyr had a flathead V-12 of 267 CID-the last ones, in '48, were292 CID. Ford's fabled V-8 was only 221 CID- Mercurys were 239.Caddy's 1st OHV V-8 in '48 was 331CID-the flathead it replaced was 346.
