There's a ton of books out there on rebuilding and hot rodding flatheads... anyone have suggestions on which they think are best to pick up? Never messed with flatheads before and am going to be doing one up. Thanks!

You can never get too much info. Here's an on line freebee manual. Original Ford addition. http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/FH_37-48engine-rebuilding/v8_overhaul-forwrd-contents.htm
go here: http://www.flatheadv8.org/rumblest/intro.htm and click on the chapters at the bottom of the page. This is one of the best books on practical street flatheads, and is free.
