Hey John!...they make valve covers for small block Chevy's that will bolt on and make them look like a Flathead. Then you would have modern V8 power for that old boat-anchor engine! Then get a 350 Turbo-trans for it!

Modern performance flatheads
Ford flatheads are still hot rodded today, with a special land speed record[2] Note that the car broke 300 mph (480 km/h) but did not set a record. You have to make two passes in order to have a record. The current record holder achieves 700 hp (525 kW) and 300 mph (483 km/h).
