You might want to find a rebuild manual on the flattie, there are many aspects of the engine that are unlike an overhead valve engine.---aka, more ways to do it wrong then do it right!!!!!

I never start a project without having all the factory service and parts manuals. Clymer and Motors and Haynes are a waste of money. Get the real deal factory books from Faxon.
Faxon | Shop Manuals for Car & Truck Owners | DIY Service, Repair or Maintenance

Here are some other titles you will want to have on the shelf....Frank Oddo in particular....
