Re: Engine Swap
This is a tricky one. If you can get it for a good price, I would think it would be smart to have a spare. However, many of us here can attest, there are a lot of "rebuilt" flatheads lying on garage floors. Whether this one is or isn't, it's so hard to tell without paperwork.
Plus, what passes as rebuilt for you may not be for others. The paint work indicates someone cared enough to take their time which is usually a good sign.
If you can get it cheap, that I'd say get it. If it's creeping up into the thousands, hard pass. Without the heads and intake off, you are really buying a pig and a poke unless the seller has documentation of what was done.
