Default Flathead Longevity

I've heard the flathead described as an "eternal engine" because it's geometry allows the replacement of sleeves and valve guides. Can you really run a flathead as long as your willing to rebuild it, or does the block warp after a certain number of rebuilds? I've daily drive classic cars before and I'm interested in a flathead for my next ride, so please fill me in!
