    built flathead

     



    I'm looking for a built flathead . Maybe something bored .060 with a intake manifold with 3, 97's. I would like if possible to find a 53 merc, but I look at all motors.

    Wild Turkey Sounds like you have a killer engine. 59A was out of either a 46-48 . When you say the engine is disassemble do you mean the block has no internal parts. If so how has all been stored for the last 40 years. Did you run it after it was bored and stroked? It sounds like something I would be interested in. How much do you want for it? I would like to see some pictures.
