Nice! I always loved working on the old Ford flatheads.
Started when I was 15 ... 1961. Bought a 47 Merc couple with a dropped front axle .. built up a 53 Ford flathead for it. The heads were shaved, it ported, 4" stroke Mercury crank, bored 1/8", Fenton headers, Mallory dual point ignition, dual Stromberg carbs, shaved flywheel, 11" truck clutch. Converted the car to 8 volts as the 6 volt would barely crank the high compression engine. Lights were nice a bright for a time. I didn't even have a drivers license when I got it running.
