probably trying to figure out what parts he can use in a different engine
Dan, I'm building a Lincoln 337 flat head. If I have a billet crank made for it, I'll use Chevy snout, flange, seal, and rod journals so the parts are cheap and plentiful, and a 1 piece seal because all of my 2 piece seal installations are indistinguishable from the Exon Valdez. I'm working on a blueprint for a crank so I can get some quotes on it. This should be a fun project. The motor might get salty...

Sounds like a fun project! You always do interesting stuff. I hope when the Covid stuff dies down we can swing by your place on the way to or from the Arkansas track.
This sounds like a really cool project, Ford used the same engine in F8 trucks. I'm sure you already know this, but back in the day they were notorious for head gasket failures. I'm sure it had to do with the less than stellar performance of the cooling system.
