1928 newbie, many questions

[kellerk99]

It has a very cracked engine block, I see only Burtz blocks so far as an option, and am very confused as to the difference between the 4200 block and the 8000 block.

I would not mind using another engine if it didn't cut anything and make it unrestorable.

I am fairly mechanically adept. Just not with modern cars. My thing was air cooled vw enginges.

I am located South Bay Area Ca. f

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
