49-53 Flathead V8

OK guys I'm building a 49-53 flathead motor. I tried to check the ID numbers on it but they where gone. I read in time when this motors was rebuilt the numbers was sometimes removed. Where the ID numbers should be there is BB-3 then a star stamp. I quess it's some kind of rebuild # . Anyway what I need is some info on a good rebuild kit. Or a name of a good company to get in touch with. All I'm looking for out of this motor is to have a good run engine and the sound to match. If this stock motor turns up bad then I've got a friend who has a 60 over flathead block I could have. Would this motor be worth getting and building or would a 60 over flathead run out. Need some help with this. What would any of you all do in this case.
