I have no affiliation with this ad. Just thought someone here might be interested. The price seems right.  :cheers:

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly overhead. -- RFC 1925

Wow - I go to take a shower, come back to the computer, and Flattie steals a motor.  That was fast!  :cheers:

Congrats.  What-cha-gonna-put-it-in?

Well, maybe the 'FlatCad', after were done with the Cadillac flathead. I've been looking for a good one for a while. These things are beasts-356", and 9 main bearings! I'm thing a blower,few internal tricks, then on to the salt!

ol38y, Thanks again! I now just need to figure out how and when to pick it up.

Not to threadjack, but I run the restoration shop at America's Packard Museum in Dayton, OH.  We have a HUGE parts stash, all of which is for sale.  Feel free to PM me or call me at (937) 572-7261 if you need anything.
