since im rebuilding my flathead 6 i would like some advice on improving
power and fuel economy.im not looking for a hotrod just a daily driver
that will keep up with traffic. should i mildly relieve the block to
help flow and mill the head to raise the compression ratio back up? and
if i mill the head how much material is safe to remove? is there a way
to measure the head thickness as the shop manual doesnt give any specs.
would porting and polishing help or would it hurt my objective? a
pertronix conversion is planned already. what would be a good choice
for a carb? i was thinking along the lines of a two barrel with a small
primary. is there anything else i should be looking at?
thanks in advance
