LAs Best The V8 flathead can take a lion’s share of credit for the revival of U.S. road racing after the Great Depression, primarily because Ford V8 cars were relatively lightweight, maneuverable as well as powerful … and also inexpensive.
All over the country, the Ford V8 was racing. It became the staple powerplant for East Coast road racing, which evolved into the Sports Car Club of America after World War II. The Ford V8 wasn’t used exclusively in Ford chassis, either. In the hands of these racers, the potent little powerplant found its way into the engine bays of many MGs, and even the odd Lagonda and Duesenberg.
