That thing will be cool with tubs, 33"x16" slicks, straight axle and a BBC & 871 sticking out of the hood.
I’m too cheap for that. Its going to get mechanically rebuilt, interior done and the exterior remains as is with clear or Poppy’s. It sat for 70 years so I think it deserves to show off the scars.
Got all the valves out, two fought me until the end but the torch never loses! I’m taking the block to the machine shop Monday to see if its a builder or not.
Dropping off the block at the shop tomorrow, I don’t see any cracks so here is hoping.
Any updates?

The block is still at the shop so I’ll give them another week and then start bugging them. I found some NOS .083” pistons so if the block is good I’ll snatch those up, then get the crank checked. If I can find a 59A/B crank I’ll use that instead for the insert bearings.
Been a while but the flathead block is good, had it cleaned and pressure checked, line honed and valve seats done. Its too pricey to rebuild so I’ve 
collected a couple of 283’s to get the thing rolling and hot rod it like its 1963.
