    Flathead reliability

     



    5K to 8K for a rebuild? Maybe if you are doing an all out full race motor with blower, etc. I would say you can do it for less than 3K. Mine ran just over 5k and that was with all the goodies minus a blower set up. Also included polishing all the aluminum. It's a very reliable motor if you don't over abuse it. And it keeps up with small block Chevys too. John
