if there's a wrecking yard close to you, you can often find old flathead MOPAR engines and parts on combines, irrigation pumps and aircraft tugs....as well as in old cars and trucks. a friend, several years ago, got a very nice factory rebuilt 230 dodge engine, from a massey-furguson combine. installed in his old plymouth coupe, it ran like stink! with nothing more than a cam, milled heads, headers and a pair of carter single barrel carbs, he had a very peppy little machine! there is a noticeable improvement in torque between the 218 and 230 engines, too! good luck!
