Default Re: Flathead engine worth

I have no idea why this motor was put together the way it was. The guy who did the work on the crankshaft said it was a Ford crankshaft. I'll have to get the measurements on the pistons. The engine was rebuilt, stuffed into my truck about 40 years ago, and hasn't been really ran from what I could tell. There weren't any ridges at the top of the cylinders and the crosshatch marks were still visible. I honed the cylinders to clean them up.
The valves are in good shape however it still needs a valve job. It will need a set of springs, I have a set of good used matched ones but it still needs retainers. Apparently my motor has a weird 2-piece retainer and so the springs are about 3/8" shorter than what the stock springs would be.
