Any special reason for the earlier SBC engine? Newer ones are better suited to today's gas, and likely have more push. If it is just for a way cool set of staggered bolt valve covers, there adapters. :D
 
If I can't get a flat head I would like a early 265 or 283 55 59 time period. Building a a frame at present. It's not about hp. I was a kid back then and that was what was in some of the cars I admired.
 
Are you looking for a ready to go built motor or one to freshen up? and how far are you willing to travel. I believe I ran across an early sbc in Jacksonville ads yesterday.
 
:)SmallFoot, Thanks for the lead.
He called me today, and it is a true 55 eng with the oil filter like the f/h ford.
What a good buy. Will be picking it up in a couple of weeks.
Rat rods rule. THANKS[cl
Now I need a harmonic bal and a f/w for this eng. Help.
