You would be much much better off using a 44. The 44 motor is bigger stock than you could probably get a 30 built to. plus the 44 is overhead valve and has huge cubic inch and horsepower potential.

If you want to build a flathead for a 30 go ahead, I would build one for a 81/20/22. Much lighter chassis. 2500 lb class. little flathead can go to 200 cubic inch with a good bore job.
