160hp is nothing today. In 1954 it was quite a lot.

In 1953 a Ford I Block 6 was faster than the flathead V8. I've read that Karrol Miller had an I Block 6 that he made very fast.

As I stated earlier, my '53 Ford Flathead V8 was no barn burner. Had overdrive and added dual exhausts and still nothing to write home about. '58 Custom 300 292 was a whole different ball game. Had a lot of fun with that one. Got me hooked on the Y Block and then I traded it for the '57 Bird that I still have. I remember seeing '55 Fords with a 4 barrel but never a '54.
