Never was a flat head fan even the Mercury 100HP was only a good old slugger , The 272 Y blocks were a bit better especially the 312 Thunderbird motor, I had plenty of Y blocks in Customlines over the years but once bigger motors became available/cheaper, engine transplants happened in my Dads big farm shed FE 352s and 390s were to go but later on the Cleveland became the motor of choice for us Ford Guys as they fitted the Customlines/Victorias ect like they were made for them and easy and cheap to get 400 reliable horsepower, the Chev 6s were reliable one of the concrete agitators around here had one as a power unit to rotate the drum and it went for many years
