Hello everyone! I have a 49-53 flathead and tranny that i've been working on for my car....been doing a ton of work on my project and I;ve finally arrived at making a crucial decision: keep my flathead, or throw in a 351 crate motor. I really like the look and oem integrity of the flathead, but i really want way more power and reliability than that which the flatty offers. I was just wondering if you guys had any idea how much i could possibly get for my motor if i decided to sell it. It has a freshly rebuilt stromberg 97, new fuel pump, copper head gaskets, powergen alternator, mallory dual point ignition, chrome acorn nuts, new blaster coil, and new belt. The motor ran before i started to process of going from 6v to 12v as well as making the motor look more asthetically pleasing. Also have several misc. parts available for the motor like plug wires, plugs, gas tank, and fuel sender. If it was up to me, i'd supercharge the flatty, but i really don't have $16,000 laying around ..... one of my buddies keeps bugging me to buy it off me, but wanna be fair in the price i give him and not screw myself out of $ either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Here's a link to some before and after pictures:
