I wouldn't use the old pistons. I would have the block dipped and install new freeze plugs. Have the crankshaft measured and have it polished or ground undersize if needed. You would need to decide which pistons to purchase. I don't think it really makes that much difference. They had flathead pistons in them for years. It will run like new with a new sleeve and piston kit. If the valves are very thin I would replace them along with the guides and springs. Hal
PS: I wouldn't buy any bearings until you have the crank measured and your local auto machine shop can supply the correct bearings. When I did
a Farmall A the crankshaft looked terrible. My auto machine shop said it only needed polishing and it would need .002" undersize bearings on the rods and mains. They had the bearings too.
