What made over 400 horsepower possible from a three main bearing Flathead?

Steve credits the engineering, attention to detail and quality of Don Ferguson's heads. It is also pointed out that this is over 400 horsepower from a Flathead with three main bearings, and that it has a SCAT crank, not a Ford crank, so there are good parts in it.
