Flathead engine size

[Jammero]

Can anyone tell me how to figure out or give me a link to find out the size and possibly where to get a rebuild kit for the V-8 Flathead engine for my "49 F-1?
Many thank's in advance.
I have a 5.0/AOD setup I was going to put in it but I got to thinking that if I keep the flathead and put a three duce setup on it along with a few other parts to spice it up, it would have more of the nostalgic '40s-'50s rat rod feel.
Also, anyone know where I can get a three duce manifold or any other high performance parts for a V-8 Flathead Ford engine?
Just checking my options.

This should help.

You will be better off going to a rebuilder that is familar with flatheads. They are cool motors but have some special problems (thats why they dont make them anymore) and should be checked out very carefully.

November issue of Rod and Custom has a pretty good article on the flathead this month, might want to check it out. Sniper
