Henry Floored:
Your idea would be a dream come true, except for the purists that build 100 point AACA cars. They would shy away from aluminum. I am thinking that top price would be $3K. Makes me wonder how many folks have good flathead blocks just stashed away. Before you make any kind of flathead block you would need a comittment from those who would actually put down a $1K deposit and purchase one. Which is more desirable - the early or late blocks? Plus, as the old timers pass on will there still be a market? Before jumping into the frying pan have a "sit down" with Mark Kirby and learn from his experience. Your experience as a foundry man will be invaluable. Good luck.
