[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 3890745, member: 26737"] A lot depends on whether they were stored inside or outdoors. If stored outdoors, they're notorious for getting water in the cylinders and cracking the bores when it freezes. If their cylinders are intact, there are folks who love those old flatheads and are willing to shell out good money for them. It has been a long time since I've done anything with a flathead, but I'm pretty sure those old mills are sleeved, so even if they're seized, it's not a huge deal to get them back in working order--as long as the block isn't cracked. I couldn't tell you where to sell them now, but Chickasha used to have a big antique car swap meet every spring (my dad and I went once back in the '80s, and it was huge). Hemmings Motor News used to be a reliable source of used parts for antiques and classics. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.hemmings.com/topics[/URL] [/QUOTE]
