    dmw56,

    Nice score on the flatties. I'm with flathead4d, why not use the mercs with the 4" stroke?

    Back in 1960 I bought a 35 ford 4 door and put a 50 ford block with a merc crank in it, bored it out 5/16, put Offy heads and 2 2s to top it off. The 50 block had been ported, polished and relieved. That was a srtong running flat head and similar to what yours will look like. Wish I still had it but back then I was young and foolish and the flat heads were a dime a dozen in the junk yards. BTW, my latest Street Rodder has a article on rebuilding those overdrive tranys.

    Jack.
