This summer I bought a 41 ford pickup with a stuck flathead in it and could not find a flathead anywhere .. starting a couple of weeks ago they started falling out of the trees….. I went downstate for a funeral ….. and of course checked Cracklist…[ I know ….. I am a bad person ] and made a side trip for a 41 flatty that had been sitting in his garage for 20 years It was running when pulled and he had put mystery oil in it and gave it regular spins .It was not complete but he did throw in the cart, a 2 brush generator and a good radiator
2 weeks ago I got a call about a running flathead in a 1936 sedan , it purred like a kitten had 45 lbs pressure and charging like it should. I bought this one and plan on putting it in the 41 truck mentioned above.
And then 2 days ago I get a call out of the blue from some guy that was selling a 1930 4 door Model A basket case when talk turn to flatheads an I mentioned V-8's when he told me his friend had one that he knew ran out of a 1938 that he pulled this summer . This motor is the 60 HP that is not very powerful.... but is plenty for a formerly 4 cyl. powered A .....This motor also had a Stromburg 97 on it
I will have to put this picture in another post " A sharing violation occurred while accessing .... """ and I do not know yet how to correct
So I guess now the next 3 builds are going to be flatheads.....
