That is a great flathead site. Thanks for the link.

I'm not looking to hijack the thread but I have been looking for a flathead as well and have found one I will be checking out this weekend. I was hoping you guys could give me some tips on how to evaluate it. It is currently in a 50 F1 and runs. I'm buying just the motor but have the chance to hear it run before we pull it. The guy wants to rod the truck so he doesn't need the motor or 4 speed transmission. I get them both as a unit. It runs but I do not know its history. I don't think it has been rebuilt but if so it was a long time ago. My plan is to rebuild it and put it in my 54. How would you advise I check this out?

Many thanks,
Mike
