I just heard from a old timer you can take a 5hp flathead block, cut off cylinder and replace it with a older honda xr style top end. Make it a OHV engine if sorts!!

Anyone ever heard of this?

never heard of that...but! If you wanted to invest thousands of dollars to make a $200 motor, that would be a starting point!:crying:

I thought it sounded crazy, but if a guy had parts and access to the equipment to do it. It could be done. Guy said it used XR top end, rod and piston. Lower half briggs block and crank

there was already one engine building shop that built a briggs flathead into an over head valve engine. the head and rockers were made on a CNC for the project. I ran across it one day by accident and it was a long time ago so I don't remember which shop it was.
