    You do realize that you have a very rare motor there???

    What made the flathead so versatile was its dependability and torque. The largest flathead six Chrysler used in its automobiles was 265.5 cubic inches that produced 218 ft/lbs of torque at 1600 RPM. So, at just off idle, this engine produced maximum torque, making it ideal for the applications above.

    And you can still find, "off the shelf" new parts for the flatheads,,,they were that good.

    Dont scrap that motor just yet.

    Oh,,and here's a site for ya:
