Flathead Ford V8s were pretty simple, even by earlier standards but they are way different that what the new kids on the block generally work on. It pays to look for experienced guys to insure the job gets done right. They're simple enough that the new ones could pick up the skills if they do the research and ask important questions of the older guys. Like Ron mentioned, he needed a mentor and go the distance. They might even get good at it if they try. We need more flatty mechanics. We aren't getting any younger.
