Dave, Brent is correct there are a lot of opinions even on the FB. You have a rebuilder that's been around for many years in Shandon, OH about three hours from you? Ron's and their number is 513-738-7353. Babbitt has been around for many years and my Model A engine was built over 40 years ago (it is tired and ready for a rebuild) but it has been driven hard and never had any issues with it. The Burtz engine is a nice unit (I had one but just didn't have the shop to do what was needed) There are plenty of blocks and parts out there and still many who will still babbitt although my 26 years with Clevite I tend to push inserts and was selling bearings to people for inserting Model A blocks for years.
