I have replace one or two (oak floors) I would say you may want to buy the stock from the lumber yard and keep your red oak for other jobs.
You can use your stock but Oak is real hard on tools and bits.
And the 4x4 stock is a bit over size for a floor and it will need to be 5/8" thick unless you want to cut off all the doors and other things so you can use it.
That's alot of wood going down the planner tube or you can resaw it with the band saw but that's alot of work.
You didn't say what the sq.ft. was but it takes alot of wood to get the job done not to say any thing about what it cost to put it down .
Have a good one
