Thanks Alan. What do you mean by a "high revving engine?" I am not
very knowledgeable about Flatheads, but am learning. Is a better breather
because of the relieved block? Or perhaps a shorter stroke? What do you think about it as a power plant for a Model A coupe? I bought this motor as part of a package deal to acquire a 32 chassis. I had planned to sell
the motor, but I think I am starting to like it!
