My old full house blown flathead I orginaly built in Hibbing, MN. circa 1953, when I was 18 years old. last ran on the day I was drafted in US Army Sept. 23 1958. Sitting pretty in a primerd 32 Roadster
My Dad was a master mechanic in the iron ore mines, called me said someone wanted to buy the 32, I was at Fort Lewis, WA, told him I`d like to save motor, he said I can pull it for you.
The engine sat in his garage under a pile of gunney sacks until spring 2000 when we were cleaning out garage after he passed on. We used to chat about it yrs. ago, then one goes on in life with their nose to the grind stone.
