This is what I have a 39 Bantom and a 49 Packard Stright 8.
Planning on ending up with something like this. Also, I'm located in North Texas if anyone has anything there willing to part with. Attach file:  startingline.jpg (304.42 KB) example.jpg (123.21 KB)

I know the top end is a little rough but...
Can it not be decked cylinders bored maybe even sleeved? Everything in the crank case was coated in a half inch grease and after a quick clean look pretty good. All thoughts ideas appreciated.
