Kinda interesting they put the rockers on theoutside like that. Gotta be a pain to set though, with the intakes separate like that.

Flatheads were more popular because they were cheaper to build. That was the main reason for the early Ford V-8, more cylinders for cheaper than a Chevy OHV six. Aircraft engines from back then all had exposed rockers like that.

That's pretty cool just because it really is that old.
