Flathead Rebuild - First Start Video

I bought this 49-53 flathead from a fellow hamber about 8 or 9 years ago. I finally went through the engine and got it fired for the first time. There are many, many pictures in my build thread.

Sounds really, really nice Flatheads are the sweetest music
My first car was a 1949 Ford shoebox with a healthy 276 cid. Flathead

Thanks guys! I'm not sure what cam is in it. It was in there when I bought it. It certainly isn't stock though. It has a nice lopey sound to it.
