Bill, Welcome to the Fordbarn. As Vic has already said, "lot of helpful information here" and also lots of helpful people, some probably right there in Texas in your neck of the woods. Here are some books/manuals that you may want to consider: Ol' Ron who posts here wrote a book called "Nostalgia" that is still available on CD. "Rebuilding The Famous Ford Flathead" by Ron Bishop is another good book that is still available. Some others are: How To Rebuild A Flathead Ford V-8" by George McNicholl, "Ford Flathead V-8 Builder's Handbook" by Frank Oddo, and "The Complete Ford Flathead V8 Engine Manual" by Tex Smith. There are others, but I think the ones mentioned are some of the best.
