Picked up my flathead block from the machine shop today. Hopefully i can get this thing together this weekend. Its an 8ba block which i ported and polished. 3 3/8 bore, 4" merc crank, isky 400jr cam, zephyr valve springs, adjustable lifters, its all been balanced as well.
thanks guys. I didn't realize my machine shop guy was gonna install my valvetrain. well he put stock valve springs in, so now I gotta swap them out. not enough seat pressure with the cam im running, I pulled one valve out yesterday and measured about 45psi, I got some Lincoln zephyr springs to swap in that will give me about 70 lbs
