hello, my name is mike wood im 22 years old born and raised in reno nevada.. im currently trying to build a flathead ford motor for a 49 shoebox. All i have sofar is an 8ba block and an egge cataloge.. im not lookin to make a drag motor but definetaly want to get a little more hp than the stock 239.. i know you can stroke em with a 4" merc crank and put different cams etc but i have no history building these motors and want to build something reliable.. So before i send it to the machine shop i thought i'de finally become a H.A.M.B. junkie and see if a can meet some cool people that can offer some good advice.. thanks, mike
