I hope you wont be to disappointed when you see a sbf in place of it, I wanted to use the old motor but unfortunately it has a couple of dead cylinders. Who know it may find its way back into the truck at some point but for now i am rebuilding the truck to actually use it so my sbf motor makes more since. BTW it came with a spare flathead motor in pieces so we will see what happens.
