Missing the flathead

[Jefscoupe]

I've been working on a 77 Toyota Celica since Christmas. (actually pretty popular cars now)
Doing (what started out as) a light resto for a daily driver. And just now getting it finished up. New interior, front suspension rebuild, shocks, struts, touch up paint, assorted weather strips etc. Can you say "snowball"?
I finally had to say "ENOUGH!"
I'm so ready to get back on the flathead for my 32.
I got a crank kit from Speedway with a 4" crank, forged pistons (3 5/16 bore) and forged rods already.
I just need to get the block to the machine shop to have it "freshened up".
It's already bored and drilled for the adjustable lifters.
I had our local flathead guru give the block the OK and as soon as I can, I'll get it in work.

Really? (This is a serious question.)

Sounds like the '32 should be a bit more satisfying.

Yeah, that's a serious question. And no doubt to me as well the 32 would be more interesting. But you never know what people on this forum have to go through to be able to keep an expensive hobby car that isn't a useful daily driver. If that's the price jeffscoupe has to pay, well that's not all bad.
