Over $750 a set from Speedway. What do you want to bet J&M will also sell them to you; a lot more profit and less work than reconditioning, I'll bet.

And here I thought that another valuable asset just came forward. Oh well.

The guy at the local (Brainerd, MN) NAPA machine shop did mine for one hell of a lot less than that. "Shoebox", I see you live in rural Wisconsin; check and see if here is a shop near you that does tractors, etc. If a guy can do an 8N or 9N, a flathead would be a natural.
