Suggestions on flathead choice

[RGC1]

It does make sense and it will be original enough for me , I would like to get it out and use it and with something hopefully that is dependable and I can put some miles on it. Anymore I’m a lot more about practical to haha. So tranny wise I will have to find one that came with the 8BA or 57 series.
Thanks for your input
