G'day Tony,
Isn't there a hot rod mob at the back of the ponds in Gympie. They do custom work at their place; and they have a yard full of interesting old stuff too. If they cannot do the engine reassembly work themselves surely they could recommend someone for you to see? Kind Regards Lionel

Lionel,
I know the place you are thinking about. I wouldn't get it done there. When I was looking for an engine, a long time ago, he tried to sell me an early flathead with the water pumps in a different location, and said I could just change the heads and it would then be correct! When I challenged him to show me where the pumps would fit the block front, he had to admit (after another look) that it wouldn't work. Long story short, he doesnt know as much as he thinks he does about Flatheads. Definately dont want to go there! Already making other enquiries. I know several guys in the local Historic Vehicle Club, so I will consult them, I think.
