Drop the flathead, I'm going with early small block Ford

^^ I will just convince her that you bumped your head on that shiny small block of yours and that you have been unfit to make decisions since 1996!

 

I put a 289 Ford in a Model A back in the early 70's and after trying to install the body I had half the engine inside the cab,,being 6' 4",I pulled it.HRP

 

Smartest move since 1954!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That flatty would be pisssa on my old snow blower

 

Stick to your original plan! If you settle you will never be happy with it... trust me. If you want a flattie get one. A good one might cost your pock book some but its so worth it!
