Re: Head/freeze plug question
The headbolts extend into the water jacket. You need to use a suitable sealant on the threads. (P2 is suitable)

Re: New Speedometer Question

Re: Valve seat in 230 flathead
Well, there are no intake seats per se. So you can grind them in position with a seat grinder The exhaust CAN be done insitu, but you will need the necessary tools and skills to do so. Not very common anymore.

There are supposed to be 2 threaded inserts in the body. Not only for the mirror, but also to hold the deep water fording intake pipe.

Re: Transportation
Hire a hotshot hauler.
We ship railroad power trucks this way several times a year. They are a minimum of 15,000 lbs. Most have winches to load if it is a 'roller'. (We use a 20,000lb gantry crane at work.)

Ignore the chapters, closely examine ALL the pictures and illustrations
