Default Re: Cost of rebuild a flathead

Just about 20 yrs ago, by accident, I found this old man who loved to rebuild flatheads, probably had been doing it for years and years, and still just loved doing it! I told him I need everything, motor and tranny with a 12v generator. He had several blocks, and all the other parts to build several complete engines. he built me a new rebuilt 100HP stock 59A with crab style distributor, 12v gen, Holley 94,and new rebuilt 39 transmission with clutch and all, running and ready to drop in, total cost $1200. Even 20 years ago I knew I got a super deal!
