I agree with ModelA29. Do not shop price. Many people have and ended up regretting it.

You have my full support. Thank you!

Old iron, nothing like it. My uncle had a 1920 Waterloo Boy. Not steam powered but really cool none the less. 25 HP at the belt drum ad 12 HP at the draw-bar. I really loved that old tractor.

The biggest problem with improving airflow is the flat head block itself. It's the reason why overhead valve cylinder heads, larger valves and downdraft carburetors were born.

I used to do this with a healthy 351 Cleveland. The very last time I tried it the blast opened up the bottoms of both mufflers like cans of tuna. Very expensive lesson learned.....

I don't disagree with what everyone has said. However, I had a similar situation where the engine started, idled and drove fine. Engine was timed correctly, points set correctly, idle air screw set normally, idle set to 450 rpm. The engine would backfire through the exhaust if I quickly closed...

For what it's worth, last week I bought some Model A parts from a consignment auction. There were 4 pallets that each contained a disassembled engine. The cheapest sold for $11.00 and the highest sold for $31.00, attached is a picture of the highest selling one.
