I need help on finding and using a master over haul engine kit for a 1949 Plymouth flat head in line six cylinder, who offers a good kit and who should I not buy from? help
My customer wants to use the stock motor so no use suggesting a later model V6 or V8 shruggy
Thanks in advance for all help and comments up

I have a friend that has a machine shop since the 60's,builds nothing but Mopar. He just did a flat head six last fall,I can tell you this,he told me mechanical engine parts prices are .I can call him and probably find a few sources but be prepared.

I just got off the phone with my machine shop. The boss wasn't in but his second in command said he thought Sealed Power or Silvolite still had a piston for that application in cast or hypereutectic. They build a lot of marine flathead engines and that's what they use for most of them. Lots of Continental and Hercules as well as Chrysler.

Egge as a last resort if nobody else has one. Nasty rough looking and $$$$.
