Take these and install them in the 99 block with Milled heads 400jr cam, 2GC carb and you have the ?Sportsman " engine of the 40's and early 50's
Good post Ron, I will add this to your many threads I have for my appendix section of Nostalgia.

By the way I'm waiting for bow season to start up so I can woop up a batch of "Flathead Chilli"
