A Flatty will eat up a small budget quickly. they look awsome but if your on a budget, look past a flathead. Buick Nailheads also look nice, you could find 1 in running condition in a '64-'67 Riveria, as well as some Buick Wildcats. a repaint and some nice valve covers, you'd have a nice looking engine. I'm 1 that goes for the non normal stuff, that's 1 reason why I'm turbocharging my '67 Falcon's 200 I6. keeping the 235 str8 6 in my '51 Chevy, rather than going V8.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

To be honest, I'm not looking to put something out landish. I want something that captures the look, and can also perform the way I want it to. I don't want a small block in my Ford, I want a flathead. Thats it. Thank you for the ideas though. When I have something NOT so important to me I will do something radical like that.

You're welcome Mike, glad it worked out for you. Roger, it's taken a few years but my inventory of excess parts has shrunk a fair bit from 1 1/2 garage stalls to about an eight by eight space. ...
