    Finally, the superior (prewar) American solution towards sensible Japanese motoring.

    Drivers (you) can now finally enjoy:
    Ruined Handling!

    With all that American cast iron upfront. You can guarantee that you'd be understeering on your way in, and oversteering on your way out.

    Mediocre Performance!

    Twice the displacement of the 1.9 L4, and not all that much more power. Apart from that all American sound.

    Horrible fuel mileage!

    Fuel? You'd better have plenty! And the flathead isn't too picky on the octane.

    Parts included:
    -The 252CUI flathead V8 from the Gavril Burnside, with all optional parts and gearbox options. (except for the Gasser Headers and the stocking radiator fan.)

    All completely re-jbeam'd and with functioning twin exhaust.

    Tweaked and reworked meshes for the oil pan and exhaust system to eliminate clipping.

    Also features a custom straight piped exhaust, and supercharger scoop from the Bruckell Nine.

    Supporting Parts:
    -larger radiators and reworked rad supports with larger openings for all 3 of the fascias.

    -2 new bulged hoods to give enough clearance to the intakes.

    -V8 specific soft engine mounts, as an alternative to the vanilla ultra heavy duty hard mount .

    -V8 springs and swaybars to handle all the extra weight.

    -Front and rear suspensions that accepts 5 lug wheels.

    -A heavy duty driveshaft since the vanilla part tends to snap with anything more than 100hp.

    -A few taller final drive ratios to better suit the V8's torque profile.

    -4 Configs that shows off the parts.

      That 60/40 weight distribution is pretty similar to big block muscle cars of the time!
