Default Flathead builder near Pixley CA -

Anyone have contact information of a flathead engine turnkey builder in or near Pixley California. I've heard good things about him but can't get a name.


Thanks

Fresno is about 60 miles from Pixley. You might contact Tim McMaster. I know he is a Y Block guru but someone I trust recommends him for flatheads as well.

Pixley? Isn't that about 12 miles from Hooterville? I think there's a Hoyt-Clagwell tractor dealership there, but I don't believe there are any flathead rebuilders. If there were, I wouldn't use them!

Tubman, you must be mistaken, Arnold Ziffel, said there is a flathead builder there, Haney was his last name I believe.

"Haney"? Is he any relative of "Skip" Haney? If so, he 's gotta be awful good.

H&H is about a 2 1/2 hour drive south. Leave early and avoid the mess of 210/134 interchange.
