They didn't build a good one until the early sixties. The flathead
with its three exhaust ports for four exhaust valves on the other side
of the head was a piece of ----, very pure and simple. That's why
Bernie Pietenpol, who took the A/B flathead four to its greatest
heights...literally...never looked at the piece of ---- flathead Ford
eight. When he went back to building backyard flyers in the mid-60s he
used Corvair power, believing rightly it was the best Detroit had to
offer then.
Zora Arkus-Duntov built the predecesssor to the Chrysler Hemi as the
Ardun head. It went on the Ford block,and the Novi V8s were distantly
based on it as well. Never the less it was a overheating, bore
warping, three main bearing piece of ----.
BMW builds excellent engines...if you don't mind their
higher-than-a-smallblock-Chevy weight to displacement ratio even with
extensive aluminum. The big six with the proper cam and firmware would
do fine in a Jeep. However, BMW doesn't own Jeep. DCX, thankfully for
us, does.
I really, really want to see the OM 617 in TJs and YJs.....although
the YJ is of dubious worth with its Brass Era leaf springs.

Well, the rest of the world has it all figured out, but yeah, it does seem
too complicated for America.
