Subject: RE: Availability of flathead blocks
>Good morning John! These flathead blocks were built under SAE specs by a
>European manufacturer for military applications. Castings are 30lbs
heavier,
>dense with no porosity, decks are thicker, beefier thread bosses in the
>water jackets. The intake ports are flattened on the top runner for better
>flow, the exhaust ports have smooth and rounded runners for better flow
>around the cylinders. They have the 59AB style rear and a 8BA style front.
>Castings dates on blocks date up to 1990. Price for the block is $1500.00,
>plus freight. We also have individual parts for sale as well. We are
waiting
>for the 3 3/4 and 4" cranks to arrive in approxiametely 3 weeks. Also
>available are complete engines at $3000.00. These overhauled engines
>(underneath military specs) come complete with dual point distributor, with
>vacuum advance, clutch and pressure plate, exhaust manifold, Zenith 2bbl
>carb, the fuel pump has a primer on it. The engines with the 3 3/4 crank
>have the oil sump in the back of the pan, while the others have a 4" Merc
>crank with a deep sump in the front (may not be useable). Prior to
>shhipment, these units were vacuum sealed in containers, with test sheets,
>full of oil and ready to start upon installation. They powered various
>vehicles for the French army until the program ended early in the 90's.
>Also, there is an extra boss on the rear drivers side which has a governor
>and hour meter installed. We have heard some say it would make a great
>mechanical tach drive or to install an extra distributor for high race,
dual
>plug application. This area is driven off of the cam just like the front
>distributor is. If you have any further questions, please feel free to
>contact me. WE'RE READY TO SHIP!!! Thanks for your interest and have a
great
