    As I said I am looking for a flathead V8 for a 27 T roadster I'm about to start working on. I'm in Dallas so if anyone knows of any cheap and close let me know.... you guy's have got to be good for something

    A flathead for a T-bucket? :bang:

    While the image of a flattie wearing polished Offy heads is a nice one; remember you're living in the 2000's! :rolleyes:
    Go with a punched out 460 on the bottle with a built C6 behind it :nice: Local old guy built one just that way. With a 3500 RPM stall-speed converter in the C6, it's difficult to keep the front wheels (and that big heavy engine) on the ground at a stoplight. :D

    But, what a cool ride! :nice: :nice: :nice:

    Not a bucket.....it's a roadster has a trunk (all one piece original steel body) kinda like a short 32

    Now that is a cool idea.. but I want to go vintage...not quite rat rod type but very 50's.
    Besides I have 302 and could get simliar results
