Technical Midwest Flathead Builders

Looking for someone with flathead experience in the midwest to go through my 37 60hp. I have found someone in North Carolina with a lot of 60hp experience but would prefer closer. I'm 100 miles south of Chicago. Should be easy build all bolt on parts already rebuilt just need block gone through. Thanks Mike

 

Not real close but Russ at Schmidt Machine in Fairbury NE. has done several big flat heads for me successfully and recently I quizzed him about a 60 for a midget I'm considering and he said no problem.

 

Thanks Gary. Right now I'm just happy to find someone who has knowledge of them. Most people say rip it out put a bigger flathead in it. Just want a nice period correct hotrod.

Try NewCo Kentland Indiana Talk to Neil Had him build my 276 Cu In 59AB Great guy & Great work

 

Thanks guys! I'm gonna start calling see how far out people are.

 

I know it’s your car and have a plan but I think I would side with others and put a big flathead in. Even with it rebuilt with more horsepower it’s still going to be underpowered. What are your plans for the car?
I built a street legal single seater with a flathead dodge motor. Your little motor would be perfect for something like that.

 

Rusty the thread is about finding a midwest flathead builder. Not debating the 60hp. Thanks
