Flatty 6 power upgrades?
Hey all, I have a 1949 F-3 with the Flathead 6, I am going to be rebuilding it hopfully next winter and I was wondering some good HP increase tips. I am already thinking, Bore it, cam it, any ther good easy things to do?
THis is going to be a work truck, carrying hay bales but it is also going to be a daily summer driver to and from school. I have heard that the sixs are pretty easy to turbo? is that right? I kno with the V-8s people always blow em' but what about the 6?
Thanks in advance!

i've seen on other forums discussing primarily ford v-8 and hudson sixes that they werent recomending turbocharging as they fear the extra heat will destroy / crack the begeezuz outta the exhaust side . dont no if there's any merit to it , but one of the guys is running a supercharged hudson and has tried it and had these issues with his endeavors so ............
