motor mount & engine rebuilt help
I have a 1950 Ford F3 with a flatgead 8. What should I expect to spend on a rebuild? Any good place to buy ones already done stock? I am also thinking of maybe putting in a newer 351 in it. Where might I find motor mounts to except the new motor in the stock frame? Thanks for any help.

Do you know for sure that the Flatty needs a rebuild? What is the history on the engine, did it sit a long time and has just been re-started? Or have you been driving it and have seen it deteriorate? It may just need a freshening-up. Done a compression test? Inquiring minds want to know!

I just took delivery of a re-built '52 flathead form Precision Morors in Houston. I did not have a core and it cost me $3,700 which included shipping. It wasn't cheap, but they guarantee it for a year. I looked around for good used engines, but they wanted almost $1,500 for them, and they would probably have to be re-built anyway. http://www.precisionengine.com/

I will have $1082 in the rebuild kit. The machine work will be around 700.00 plus the machine shop I am using will let me come in on a Saturday to put the engine together. They guarantee this one for a year as well if they do the work. I feed them lunch and stop to bs with them so I get to put my own back together under supervision of course. Great to have a shop like that next door. Plus the owner is a first class guy! Story Motors in Massillon, Ohio on First Street NE
