Re: Witch 3 speed floor shifter ?
Tubman X 2. In years past, I had far better luck with Hurst shifters than other brands. The Hurst units were much better built than some of the others. The OD will be an issue, I'm sure.

Re: Need Seat Info.
Thanks, Bill. That's what I thought. The '28-'29 models do have a wooden bottom, I think.

MAG - Q: Does the seat cushion have a wooden frame such as the one on the coupe o do the springs just sit on the riser?

Re: Shortened Pitman Arm
TTT -Make me an offer. The Pittman arm will really reduce steering effort - the cheapest "power steering" you can buy! If not sold, parts will go to scrap. Gotta move 'em!

Re: Barrs or ?
I'd agree with replacing the pump gaskets. Be sure to get a good six point socket to attack the bolt inside the water passage. A lot better chance of getting it out rather than rounding it off!

Re: flathead issues
Warped head? Cracked block? Wavy deck on the block? Would have to do some accurate measuring / checking to tell for sure.. Good luck.

Re: Headers
I believe that JWL's book sheds some light on this oft-discussed subject. With that said, I have a couple of flatheads w/headers, Brockmans and 2" pipes. Love that sound!

Re: Package Deal....
You'll make more selling three separate cars as opposed to a package of three, assuming you are selling the cars yourself and aren't paying a sales commission. JMO
Good luck with your endeavor.
