I've often thought a gas flattie altered/dragsterwould be a neat niche nostalgia car to run.We had quite a few around here in the late 50s -early 60s. I've heard that alky and fuel pose heat/cracking problems due to the basic engine port design but that gas is pretty reliable.
My only practical knowledge is that we had a rusted up 53 sed that my cousin knocked the front off of in about 65 and we ran the thing sans cooling and with dubious oil level 2-3 years and used it to haul timber out of the woods.The thing would not die!
Anyone have any experience with them?
