Re: New block
I'm impressed with your no-nonsense approach to this project. I'm curious about how much new parts will go into a typical hot rod flathead when your new block is offered. Since new rotating assemblies are easily sourced now, new valve train is common, new water pumps, new heads, new intakes, and new headers are also typical. What is left to take from an original Flathead? The timing cover, oil pump idler and cover, oil pan, and ???. With your block it looks like pretty much all wear items are going to be offered new. Impressive.
