Hey Chuck, here's a video of a 1925 Dodge Bros engine rebuild. The fellow has several videos of the total resto.

If (we) can find a decent flat head with pictures/drawings/dimensions i might be inclined to jump in here and build another engine.
May be a group build of sorts?........

Chester that is great! Thanks! He shows the whole drive train rebuild in various videos. Damn maybe a fourth monorail loco!

Yeah, that fellow gives a pretty comprehensive look at the '25 Dodge.

Marty, there seems to be a lot of orthographic photos and drawings on the web of a variety of flat heads. It should be pretty easy to scale most everything off of one.
