If it is free to rotate by hand that's great but without seeing it running you don't want to pay top money. I sourced a low hours generator set Flathead which seemed fine, easy hand rotation etc. On strip down the block was cracked and so was one of the heads. The head was scrapped but the block was repairable.
French flatheads are well known for being a strong block casting, but I am not sure at which point Ford France moved to the improved blocks which were used up to the end of flathead engine production and spare production in the 70's.
