Thread: Flathead

Well, then if you're prepared to spend the bucks to make a flathead work, have a ball. Last one I did I got most of the goodies from Flathead Jack out in Ca. Expensive, but good stuff.

So... does anyone have one in NY?

I don't know of any myself. Contact Flathead Jack, he may know of some, or have some you could buy. whatever you do, have them magnafluxed. Speedway motors has a flathead preassure checker, for 24 stud engines, $249 but it can detect cracks and leaks within the block, if someone would allow you to check it that way, buy it and then tear it down and have it magnafluxed or buy a magnaflux kit yourself, if the block is cracked and deemed not repairable after that, keep all the internals and send the junker block out into the pasture, get another engine, do the same until you find a good block.

Heres the thing. A lot of the work, I don't pay for. For I do myself, and my family is a bunch of motor heads so we have the right equipment. Whos FlatheadJack? I would love to contact him to hopefully he will know, what I have to know. Time is wasting, If I want to get this done by the end of the spring to have it goin for the summer, I gotta get a move on it. Thanks for everyone's help.
