OK I'm building a 36 ford coupe and trying to keep it as much period correct as i can. My question is if I should just buy the new aluminum heads with 8:1 compression for the 37 flathead that I'm building or keep on searching for some vintage finned heads. Big problem is I'm currently overseas and my ability to search for stuff is limited to Web restrictions. Just gathering thoughts of what all you think about this and pros and cons with the early heads and new heads....info on the 36 ford is it has 40 ford brakes, 36 Columbia 2 speed rear axle, 37 flathead, 39 ford transmission, 39deluxe steering wheel, redoing the 6 volt system just because and mohair interior with the 36 deluxe gauges
