To answer Dave. The XF rule is the way it is because thats how the people who
run the class voted to word it.
Other flatheads are able to run in the XO classes, it is XO (X other), not XO
(overhead valve).
The flatheads get additional cubic inches over the truck engines. There is a
very sucessful Hudson 6 running in these classes.

Maybe I don't understand the rule I assume there is a place to run a Caddy
flathead should you want to though I don't persoonally.

In real life if you have a standard size Ford Flathead, no one will
question weathr it came from a truck or car. The rule is aimed only at
Lincoln
based flatheads. Just as Cad and all other flatheads are disallowed.
