Is this still something any of you do? Or is it seen as damaging blocks which might be re-used for LC where it wouldn't be useful?
Hi Jon,
Just reading this tread for the first time. A good place to look for info on this is the H.A.M.B. JallopyJournal forum. being American there is lots of discussion re modding 'flatheads'.
