Then,
just do it anyway..... Do you want a carrier that struggles to climb over a cow pat, in low gear? (.... at least it would be truly british)

Lynn, when do we get to experience the sound of one of your carriers running? Surely you must be close now?

My biggest issue with getting the correct Flathead is that the US version by 1943 was using 24 head studs, finding one in the UK is rather difficult, I may have to resort to importing a couple from the US. As far as I can determine Dagenham production never took up the 24 stud mods and stayed with 21 studs right up into the 1950s when Flathead production stopped.

hi alastair
i wouldn't go to the expense of importing a 24 stud engine just yet, if you look long enough one will turn up and even if it didn't you could put a 21 stud flathead in then change it at a later date if the 24 stud comes up. eddy
