The 60's only have 17 stud heads. I've seen a handful over the years. Cute little things with creative waterpump castings. Two styles - early had tin sides that were staked to the block on the lower end. Last year of production they had cast sides.
55 f350, your 21 would have been an 85 hp. I've got a couple ot them that I bought as parts engines - one had a piston break at rpms and the conrod did a tap dance in the oil pan and the other I keep cause it is a textbook case of freeze cracks.

We had numerous flathead 221-239 cars, but we never had (or wanted) a v8-60. But growing up in the Detroit area in the 60s-70s, lots of Ford-Merc club members had v8-60 cars. They were SLOW was the usual comment, you could tell the v8-60 cars on our tours because they had trouble keeping up.
Around town, it would be a good race between a Model A and a v8-60. On the freeway the v8-60 would have an edge just because the Model A engine was pushing all that air, worse than a brick. Top speed for the Model A was about 58mph, top cruise was 55mph with a good radiator. The v8-60 could at least cruise easily at 55-60mph.
