I should mention not ALL GM went overhead valve. ony Buick and Chev and GMC then CAdillac and the rest followed in the late 40s to mid 50s. the fuel before WW2 was very low octane, 70 or so, and that where a flathead is in some ways a better design. not as sensitive to pinging as an OHV design so everything stays cooler, pistons last longer etc.
