An old saying comes to mind. "A pig in a poke" How about 15 pigs in 15 pokes hidden in old engine oil. Maybe you could sell tickets to watch the "pig unveiling" as they rise from the pokes! Or lottery tickets? Could you send us a few pictures of the treasure hoard Ralph. I hate to sound...

I think most folks are very reluctant to discourage you Ralph. I believe you are like most of us feeling you might miss an opportunity. You must be fairly young to even consider taking on a PROJECT like this. 15 engines in a pickle drums could be interesting, or not. Best of luck!!

I will move to the Hamb

That was a private joke. I think I just ran out of GAS !

Teaching old dogs (which describes most of us) new tricks can be difficult. I hope to get back behind the wheel soon! LOL

Was in a 34 I bought in May. Drove it a couple hundred miles. Oil pressure was not great but sounded good. Rods marked so it has been apart. Will keep it for a couple weeks if someone wants to come and get it.

I purchased a few parts from Elmer. When Elmer said it was a good part that is what you received!

There a couple originals on Ebay for less than 20$. Some reprints also.

Thanx Mike! I pulled an engine with a 35 up pan and ventilation so I guess I would need to pull the pan to see if it is a babbit crank. The engine sounded ok but did not carry much oil pressure. I have a 37 engine that will be it's successor, hopefully!

Did all 1936 LB engines with main bearing inserts have the LB ID mark on the deck?

Pulled V8 engine and transmission from a 34. The torque tube clam shell cap was one piece instead of two piece that bolt together. Is this an aftermarket part. I just found a DavigG post from 2018 and he explains that the 2 piece clam shell did not come until 1935. A heavenly Thanx to the...

When I bought my 36 it had a flat wooden bumper which I removed. I added a 2x2 iron tube to which I bolted my bumper. I do not know what the mounts were from, possibly a passenger car. Although not a 34, the same intentions as yours.

For those with a "connoisseur's taste" and a pocketfull of change, the table is being set for a heavenly feast!

Do you have the key in the on position so that the steering lock is not engaged?
