First off, Thanks!! You guys are great.

I was going to jump on it , (beautiful grille!), but the engine is 49 - newer and I need 48 - older.

Still able to meet Saturday or Sunday? You other boys? When's best for you?

in Moes running 53 motor for 300, You should prob get that one cause the only other spare flatheads I got are 1951 and newwer nothing running.

I still got the 50's style motors yes, but I thought I had a early style flathead motor for you, that I mistaken about. I do have early style motos in complete trucks still but thats probably more $ then you're looking to spend. I have a motor in 1938 and 1946 but those would be pricey.

The motors I was thinking was perfect for you were mistanly sent to the Metal graveyard "RIP", sorry I would yell at my dad more but who thought I woulda needed them.

No worries Snow - I wish I had so much in inventory I misplaced stuff!

I guess it forces my hand to just do it right.

Doing things right is not a bad way to go about it either haha. Sometimes it seems like its a last resort though!

Are these running and are you interested in parting with one? I am still trying to get my 49 F68 running but am not having much luck. I'ld really like to get it going because I need it for hauling stuff around my yard.I am in Winnipeg so not that far away. If you want to call me my # is 885-2443 and my cell # is 294-6350
Thanks
Bob
