Stuff a flathead in it, or a 1st Gen Hemi.

Gotta stay all Ford on this one. I was offered my choice of motors including a couple flatheads but I am opting for the 292 Y-Block built my way. The core I am starting with is a 1964 (last year of north America production) 292 4V truck motor. I already have the book on how to build Ford Y block motors so I am ready.
Concerns-finding a machinist who knows these motors and how to do the mods I am going to want, also the size and weight of the thing trying to fit it into the chassis and body of the truck. I could always take the easy road and to with a 289/302 but where is the fun in that? This is a good build to go out on:-)
