Default Looking for Flat Head Rebuilder
Anyone know of a reputable Flat Head (8ba) rebuilding specialist within a 150 mile radius of Greenville SC - this includes Charlotte NC and Atlanta GA. Thanks,
Mick aka 1933 Ford

Maybe try 'Dreamworks'. James Rogers. One of the best with Model A engines if he couldn't do it he'd know someone who could. Ashville, N. Carolina

Maybe a few of the Georgia guys on here can say if Putt Smith is still doing flatheads in the Atlanta Area.

I vote for Putt Smith. He has built 3 engines for me. Great runners. Guarantees' his work. Super nice guy.

Call Clint Bivens in Lexington, NC. He's been building engines since the fifties and has built many for lots of v8'ers. Looks like you may need one with poured bearings if your Fordbarn name is an indicator. He still uses the original KRW pouring fixtures and line boring equipment. He can't hear very well any more, but someone in the shop will talk/interpret for you. 336-787-4136
