Maybe a little too much caffeine. The second reply just really rubbed me the wrong way.

My truck is all stock with 239 flathead, 3 speed, and dana 44. The most modern thing on it is radial tires and I am saving for bias ply in spring.

My other car is a 69 beetle with a 67 1500 and a 4 speed.

No overdrives, a/c, power steering, power brakes, or even disc brakes here

We might be interested in one of those French blocks since we dont have the original block that might be an idea. Do either of you know how to find one?

the french blocks according to 'motor books' is not a great choice given we still have a lot of good motors here ..and they are 3,100 bucks each ..also they are set up with the earlier style with the integral bellhouseing ..pre-49 style ..and as you have a 53 you will want the newer 49 -54 style (canada stay's with the good stuff longer ) take your time and look around there are lots of goodies around to build up exactly what you want ...
