Technical best flathead rebuild kits?

does anyone know where I can get a 49-53 ford flathead rebuild kit? I saw one on ebay for 750 bucks is that the best deal which ones have quality parts which ones do you recommend? or would it be cheaper to buy all the parts from speedway separately? any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

anyone ?

 

For stock type parts I use these guys. Have bought many parts from them over the years. Good parts and prices.

I bought my rebuild kit from Patricks some time ago, and it was around $850 bucks then. As I recall it had all brand name parts in it. I still have the kit as I haven't built the motor yet if you wanted me to check on some of the mfg. names for you.

 

It all depends on what you need for the motor....and if you'd like to have more USA parts to pick from. So much varies from one flathead to another. Check out our prices. We discount large orders for overhaul parts.

Yeah if you wouldnt mind what are some of the brands im all for made in the usa

 

Best gaskets. Egge pistons. Hastings or Grant rings. Melling oil pump, Fed-Mog bearings if 49-53. Sometimes King bearings or various NOS or NORS bearings on the earlier engines.

 

Speedway has some parts as well.

Patrick's antique auto you actually talk to the owner he answered my questions. called him several times.

Patrick's did me a good job. If I do another Flat motor I will just let my machinist get the parts from his supplier. I think it will be as cheep and make him much happier than carrying in the parts.

 

I think so far the best deal has been northern auto their kit has quality name brands and their kit is around 550
