I would too, if I had the money, but what is a good economy plan?
Thanks
What's wrong with the "original" engine that came in the car? Just a few pieces off the motor sent to a few of "THE guys" here on the Fordbarn for refurbishment/Upgrading AND you will have a very reliable good running "Original" flathead with a fraction of the work required to "replace"/repower your car. What issues are you currently having??
