For a pattern maker or foundry man, a Flathead isn't an "OMG, this is too complex, we can't even fathom how to handle it" proposition that some of you seem to think.
With the advent of printed cores that such a low-volume project would be perfect for it becomes even less so.
This is like someone being, "XYZ OHV heads are too complex. They can't possibly be made," because of the extra intake and exhaust cores.

I would wish you good luck, but I'll bet that you will never attempt it. Since it is so easy, can you give us your details on your flathead block project? I, for one, am very interested.
