Default Time lapse flathead rebuild

Got a link to this time lapse rebuild of a flathead Ford with my daily (feels like anyways) Hagerty newsletter. Thought it was very cool to watch. Also surprised how similar it was to Chevy motors. Certainly differences, but not as many as I'd expect.


Enjoy!

I did enjoy that. Thank you. That engine is not terribly complicated. And after many years still does look pretty nice in a rod.

Very cool, I have a 46 flathead under my work bench that needs rebuilt... when I called my grandfather to ask if what I qas doing to pull the cylinder head was ok, his response was:
WHY IN THE HELL ARE YOU WORKING ON A FLATHEAD?!?
