That said, no modified flathead is cheap to build. Do it right once.
To your point though, more power, more problems or things that need to be changed to handle the power.

While a bit OT, to illustrate the more power... more problems...
A kid (in high school) across the street had a Vega, which he decided did not have enough power. Finding a "bolt on" kit for a SB Chevy he found a Chevy V8 and mated the two together. First trip out the driveway, heavy on the throttle, twisted drive line. A week later, with a heavy duty drive line, he blew the rear end up. With a new heavy duty rear end the transmission lasted less than a month. With a bigger transmission the car ran great for a week... Until the car got totaled when he rear ended a truck because of not enough brakes.
