We’re definitely not moving back to Joisey! I miss the shore, miss the seasons, and miss my roots, but nope...we’re staying in Texas!

Yes, it’s a move of preparedness for the current and eventual future turmoil that’s to become in my field of work inbound from two different angles; consolidation and hysteria. This time, however, I have have ample preparation time and won’t be caught blindsided. Yeah, we put a ton of work into this place with us doing pretty much everything, but that’s ok. The next dude can enjoy it just as much as us! And just think, they’ll be another shop and barn thread to boot!

Dropping the block off Friday to get checked over!

Cheers
Dave

What's wrong with Joysey???? Huh? (OK, a lot actually).

And to think I was gonna offer to trade you straight across for my estate up here. You never know what's behind garage doors number 1,2,3...

Thanks for the update, Dave. I'd sure like to have a '32 with a flathead in it, too.

This one looks like it has (modern) insert bearings, rather than babbit?

My Dad builds Flat head V8's often - at least 6 a year if not more.
He has 4 or 5 flathead powered Fords, most of them with Mercury cranks - strokers ... he is building one of the Flathead V8 9N tractors currently.
The 40 Woodie wagon has 25-30k miles on it since the restoration.
The 3/4 ton step side is a stroker merc.
The Big truck only had 4300 miles.

Few things sound as good as a truly pissed off Flathead.

Ain't no fun in viewing your car as an 'investment'. Get out there and beat on it!
