Re: power steering on flathead
What about considering electric power steering? All you need is 12 volts. Reasonably easy to install and donor cars are plentiful.

Re: Australian dragster
Would that be Steve McGuinness from Perth Western Australia?
He has or did have a Flathead powered F/E dragster.

Oil leak
My 33 pickup leaks oil from the rear of the engine. My guess is worn main bearings combined with the labyrinth seal is the culprit.
