Wow! agree with diesel... if you get it running, post a video w/sound! I wish I had the time and patience to undertake a project like that. First of all I would need to be a widow... second of all, I still wouldn't attempt it! Hat's off to you!
You might some day unfortunately be a "widower", but it is rather unlikely that you will ever be a "widow".

I was just going to add with old Flat Head Fords that have sat for a long time it is not uncommon for valves to hand up...
I have had success going one by one to free them up... sometimes on the Model A motors it was nothing more than taking out the valve guides with solvent and scotch pad...

Alright today I pressure washed the head and intake/exhaust manifold, then did a real quick bead blast job. Good enough. LOL
I cleaned the top of the block, pistons, wiped the bores out and wire wheeled everything. My father is coming over today with a valve spring tool so I can remove the valves. I'll bead blast those too. More to come.
