When I was in High School Auto Shop we had a couple of Flat Head V-8s that we could practice "rebuilding". Tear them down and measure everything and reassemble. They where especially good for new students that never took and engine apart or even seen the inner working of an engine.

We also had a Y-Block that actually ran. we could practice adjusting valves and tune ups on that one.

The high Schools around here don't even offer Auto Shop anymore. What a shame...
