After World War II, the Ford V8 became the engine of choice for hot rodders. By this time, Ford had built millions of cars and trucks using the dependable and durable flathead V8 engine. Modification and souping up a Ford V8 engine became popular, affordable and relatively easy with a plentiful supply of parts for the job.
