Buying a flathead

[Hotrodshelly]

Hi there all! I'm looking at wanting to buy a flathead motor my price ceiling would be$7500. I imagine an 8ba would be the best option? I have a stock 34 Tudor sedan with a 21 stud ( non running nor hooked up) car has been partially dissembled. I'm looking at plug and play, want a car that can Cruze 80-85 mph on Hwy and can spin tires at a stop light. Never driven a flathead before so I'm not sure their limitations.

I'm familiar with h&h online and flathead city, little intimidated calling for prices as I am in the looking stages,( however am impulsive enough to purchase if a good engine is available)

I'm located in Edmonton Alberta, not the best location so I realize I may have to drive 30plus hrs one way to pick up so I might not be overly worried about where I'd have to go. Just looking for excellent reputation and good price.

Any recommendations much appreciated and links to said builders. or even opinions on prices, peferred parts on a build,or any other advice
