Here in Europe there are enough (not only) french flatheads around, I have bought another one to be built as a supercharged motor, the first Frenchy I bought is soon to be mounted in my 34 Tudor. Price for a complete 4,2 ltr french engine in good working condition between 2500 and 3500€ so for me no need for a new cast block.
Couldn’t disagree more. More young guys I run with are into flatheads then the old guys we know. Especially in Europe. I sold a lot of stuff to European hot riodders.
