Thanks a ton for all the interest.
To me, The flathead is a lot of things a more modern engine is not. Its like a Harley motor to an old Harley. The sound and feel of anything else and the experience is lost. Value wise I'd think the car would be worth more and as odd as it sounds be more unique. Lastly, To me... There is great value in re-tracing the steps my grandparents could of taken.
For now, I think I'm set on where I want to go with the motor. We are going to get it pulled and than taken apart to get inventory of what we have and what we need. Hopefully I can con someone like Buickfreak to help out or send it to Cali and let HNH do the work. The goal it to get the most HP out of it while still retaining its factory'ish look and sound.
Yea, I need to go get some pictures of it in it's present condition and post em up.

Hauf is outta business. No cars and high prices on the junk that's left. OH and don't call it a junkyard, he's a dick if you do. He's a dick anyways.
Don't put a chevy in a Ford... just don't. I shouldn't need to explain.
I don't need a ton of power in a 38. I'll have a 55 for that. And why get a 302 when I've already got a 351?

Sorry didn't know you had one. Just keep the distributor in the front in a Ford and you'll be good to go

Carey's crushed out either early this year or late last year.
I'm a Vette fan, but I'd chuckle if I saw this.
