There used to be a top-notch flathead guy right here in Cape Coral........Tony DiCosta. He owned Hot Rod and Custom Supply and built the flathead Total Performance used in their pink old style T. But Tony got religion and I hear he is a Missionary in Costa Rica or someplace like that.

I might send the two we have to someone like Motor City Flatheads just to have the machine work done, and then assemble them ourselves. We don't want radical, just a nice, fairly stock rebuild. If I find anyone in the meantime, I'll let you know.

well a flat head engine is not much to them they were built and fix in a time were they were easy to build and to fix with out many tools the big deal with them is finding a good core to start with and the price on parts is more then a sbc other then that there a simple engine to work on or machine one thing about them is the rod bolt is part of the rod this is kind of spooky and you need a mill or a very big seat and guilde machine to put new harden seats in less you have a very old kwik way portable seat cutter Originally Posted by Itoldyouso
