 Chris,
 The original wood patterns are hanging on the wall in the Speedway Motors
 Museum in Lincoln, Nebraska.  I wonder if Bill Smith would be interested in
 trying ... or if Ford would be against it.  The purists would die.  Oh yes,
 a friend just bought a Ford flathead block that has never been in a car.  It
 will end up in a period '32 Ford steel bodied street rod with a Merc crank,
 original Ford connecting rods (still in the boxes), Ardun heads and probably
 a SCOT blower.  He will do it right ... nice to see things like that come
 out of the blue.
