flathead rebuild kit
I was just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a complete rebuild kit for my 239 flathead v-8. I've been looking but so far I haven't been able to find a kit, just individual parts. Thanks for the info.

I would aslo recommend Red's. There are other places that have them but they don't specialize in Flatheads.
You can call Red's and talk to either Red or Marylyn and get exactly what you want AND NEED.

flathead jacks has complete kits including brand new merc 4" cranks. He is a little on the high side though. I think he sales a kit with new crank, pistons, rings, and bearings for something like $2,000.
