The flat head is one of the easiet engines to rebuils the biggest problem is finding good blocks that are not cracked between the valve seats and barrels
Your own home made tools will work for valve removal and for less the a grand you can have all the parts- Oversize piston, crank regind, cam and gaskets your only other cost is clening the block and magna flux
I just finished a 100 hjp merc engine without labour I head 1047.00 in it
Then I had to put the starter on and rebuilding the Generator
I would rather rebuild an old flatty any day compared to a six banger Chuv
