Default Re: Sbc into my 40

when it cost 5_8 thousand to have a flathead rebuilt what choice do you have. you can put a sbc in with very little mod. & when you sell the car put the tired flathead back in. ps they can sit in traffic and not over heat.if you drive your a lot its a good choice.if you just have a show car thats different if you can afford it stay with the flat head for a daley driver

I would say $5-8K if you are frugal, doing a good deal of the work yourself and going completely stock. Any mods or high performance parts, you'll run up to $8K + real quick.

A lot of truth to Richard's statement, but I understand others wanting to keep the topics on Fordbarn as it was originally intended.
