Not sure what the current price of a Ford flathead is, but I spent $3000 getting one rebuilt back in 1997- 20 years ago.
To find a factory original still in the crate is something. It all depends on how it was stored etc as it will likely require a teardown anyways to ensure the cleanliness and integrity of the complete engine, gaskets, seals, bearings etc.
At the very least, an unmolested original zero mileage block to freshen up and get a great motor from.
