The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Back from hiatus, looking for input, again

Hi everyone. I know, I know.... I was here for a while then dropped out about a year ago, or so. I had some other things going on, let's say.

Now, I'm back in and looking for some help, if you can offer it.

There have been a few posts on engine rebuilders that I looked up, but only one in WI, Precision Engine & Machine, which I cannot seem to get ahold of now. I'm throwing some ideas around:

Rebuild the '34 flathead I pulled from the Vicky and re-install it.
Find a later flathead that will fit the original 3 speed tranny and motor mounts.
Go with an even later overhead valve engine with completely newer driveline.
- I found a guy on Craigslist who has a '61 Falcon Ranchero with a "new" 302 and T-10 BW 4spd that I thought I could pull out everything and fit it up to the B model. (Might be a crazy idea, but I'd like to get this baby running again)

Any input will be much appreciated. I understand if there's no response, also, based upon my apparent lack of loyalty to the group. Hopefully we can work through that.

Thanks.
