pflaming Posted February 12, 2022 Report Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) I just bought a 277 semi hemi (poly I believe) for my truck. I hate to remove the flat head, but I need more power. Any suggestions? I Edited February 12, 2022 by pflaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobertKB Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Suggestion………..keep the flathead or if replacing, I thought you had a good spare flattie. Why do you need more power? Putting in a V8 would involve many modifications and a ton of work. Also, I thought you liked the original patina and a V8 would take away from that. Just my thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBNeal Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 the C-series was designed to accommodate a V8, but the B-series was not...some have made a V8 fit in a B-series, but it was an involved process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayfarer Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 Dan's swap is an excellent reference for anyone wanting to put a V8 in a B series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
