Flat Head question
Just bought a 50 Ford Custom w/ a flat head. What is this engine worth if sold as is. It is complete but I have not tried to get it running yet. Also does anyone know where I can get a hood for this car?
Thanks,

The 1950 flathead was rated at 100HP, with a cubic inch displacement of 239 and a compression of 6:8:1. The later engines were better than the early blocks and if your engine is running and doesn't have a cracked block as the flatheads were prone to, you might get $100-125 for it. There are still alot of rodders who like the flatheads myself included and you'll have to hook up with one either on E-bay or locally.Keep smiling, it only hurts when you think it does!
Great to see your new post, Mike, and great to see CHR up and running again after several days of the Hmmm, can't reach this page.... Also good that you found an easy solution to your storage/access...
