Okay...a SERIOUS INQUIRY to you fellow tiki-lovin' motorheads.

I blew the Flathead in my '48 back in July. Just found out last week that it is toast...crack in the block down the cylinder wall - cannot be sleeved. I am in desperate need of a replacement.

If any of you have an old Flathead from a '48 Ford, (it'll have a 59 A-B on the block and heads), please, please, please let me know. If you KNOW someone who has one, let me know.

I'm trying to get this back together to take to the James Dean Run the last weekend in Sepetember. Right now, things aint looking good.

Yes, I have been watching Ebay motors and Ioffer and other sites. Yes, I have been scowering the countryside junk yards and finding only junk. NO, I can't spend a fortune on a MotorCity Flathead...I wish I could.

Any ideas, help, suggestions, well wishes, ect will be appreciated.
Thanks gang!
