The sky is the limit! How far and how much you have to spend is the question.

Camshaft and a good port job. Get the crankshaft balanced, arc rod. Try to find an 11hp head. Need a worked over carb also.

I’d stay away from the 11hp(25ci) unless you’re able to re-work it and make it flow as much or as good as the 12hp (28ci)head , but once you think you have enough flow, get more, flatheads don’t need the compression that OHV’s do to make power the need the flow to get the fuel mixture into the cylinder, do some searching on here there’s lots of info on flatheads!

I’ll correct myself , get as much flow as possible without opening/hogging out the ports, or you’ll ruin your velocity, there’s a fine line, I’m sure other will know more, and chime in, there is a balance, sometimes less is more 😉

Word of advice, start with a motor that has the nut on holding the flywheel on that way is is more likely to have the removable eccentrics, to allow brass counterweights, or you’ll have to get a machine shop remove the eccentrics from other cracks, saves some work

What about valve guides? Is it best to replace them when rebuilding a 28 flathead for racing?

Certainly not going to hurt to ensure a proper sealing valve , along with measuring the valves for wear
