Hi everyone,
I have two flathead v8 engines that need all of the machine work done to them. Pulled one head each found no cracks but each block needs sleeved. I can't seem to find anyone that knows or wants to machine these blocks for me. I will have them taken apart studs removed I have new hard valve seats that need to be cut and pressed in. I need the lifter bores drilled to accept the adjustable lifters. I would like them to be hot tanked magnafluxed and pressure tested for cracks. I hope you can help me? I'm in Lebanon, CT near Foxwoods casino, Mohegan Sun casino and about an hour from Springfield, MA Thanks in advance for your time

Try your post on the flathead forum not the late V8 forum. Just a thought.
