Flathead newbie!

    Hello All

    I am new to the flathead scene and could use some help from all you guys. I am building a 1930 Ford Model A pickup rod and want to power it with a flaty. My question is what would be the best years and what to look for? I did find one near by that the owner says it is a 49-53 and has a EAB stamped on the head. What does the EAB stand for? Any info would be really appreciated! I am in the Cleveland area so if anybody my way has one they want to part with please drop me a line.

    A 58 Vedette unit would be nice..



    Better still, an Esplanada. That would have everyone scratching their heads and asking where it came from!



    But it wouldn't be a flathead. Stick to a Vedette or go for a Dodge.
