I had a '57 Fargo with the big (264.5)flathead six. At 249,000 miles I
headed from Ontario Canada to Tulsa Oklahoma. It used a quart of oil every
day at 65 - 70 mph. I sold the truck about 5 years later with the same
engine in it - and the guy who bought it put a 340 six-pack in so we sold
the engine to another guy for his '47 dodge coupe. Ih had the head replaced
once, and a valve job that I am aware of. The 264 had the forged crank.
