1936 Ford LB block: major overhaul. Who would you count on, preferably as a one-stop shop, for: .010 crank bearing set, .030 3-ring, flat-top AL pistons, Johnson adj. lifters, valves, spring and guides and full gasket set? Fellow Canadians - is there, by chance, a Canadian source, which may help shave off some of our notorious shipping and border entry fees? To all barners - any tips you'd volunteer on the rebuilding/assembly of an LB? Thanks, in advance.

I got everything I needed for my 8ba build from Red's Headers in Thousand Palms, CA Don't know if they have parts for your year but if they do they are good quality at a fair price IMO.

Rod bearings for a 21 stud are very scarce.
