The problem is this stuff is it is OLD. When you get into it, things crop up that you did not anticipate. Parts seem to be about twice what simular parts for a SBC would cost.

It takes me twice as long to assemble a flathead as it does a SBC.

Try to have someone who currectly works on Flatheads help you. You do not want to pay for the learning curve for a shop that is not familar with Flatheads.

Just my opinion.
