Flathead Mechanic - Central Illinois

Does anybody know of a good person in Central Illinois (I live in Peoria) that knows how to work on flatheads? I have a 49-53 style that was supposed to have been rebuilt at some point in time. I need a few things done to it before it can fire, but I want somebody knowledgable to do initial startup for me.

Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

 

I've got a buddy who is located in south central Wisconsin (Edgerton) Who has built Flatheads for years. He has built all my motors. I'd be happy to give you his contact info,if you cant round up someone closer

 

Do you mind sharing? PM me with details. I have family about 15 minutes away from there.

Anybody else have anybody in central Illinois???

 

I'd be glad to help out! PM me if your interested.
