I have 3 FE's laying around here and it's cleanup time. One is out of a "69 truck, (probably 360), two are out of '67,'68 cars, one is disassembled. (believe both are 390's). All need overhauled. Pick up only. asking $300 OBO for all three. PM any questions or email gear@lhtot.com.

Okay gurus of the ford flathead. I just sold a flathead,and there were speculations on the year. Most ask me to check a casting on the bell, and gave examples of 54 or 59. I did and the cast # was G147. What if anything did this # represent? Larry

I have no Idea what my problem was: first winter disconnected my opitma, it wouldn't hold a charge that spring. Contacted Optima, they said don't allow battery discharge below 10.5 volts. Added a battery tender. Following spring, battery wouldn't hold a charge. Went to acid battery, no more...

Thanx for the info. I'll check for # on bell.

I have a 1938 - 1948 Ford flat 8 w/ ****** still attached. I took it out of a '34 pickup. Know nothing about the engine other it has been sitting a long time. ****** shifts. Any interest PM me. I am 50 miles south of Pittsburgh. Pickup and cash only. No promises or guarantees

Ya know I just have to add my two cents. My dad and my older brothers, all drove Fords. I don't think that is why I chose to play with Fords. When I looked at the catalogs, web pages, etc. Ch**** were everywhere. You had to sort thru those parts to find just a couple of the other parts. Or...

Just a thought, I used to have problems with the vacuum advance. Same symptoms. Worth a check.

My Crown Vic. 1955 with '56 side trim. Mustang II, coil overs, discs front & rear, 9", & 4 link. 429 with/.030 over, 10.5:1 cr. thru a C6.

I've had both. The 55 & 56 outer trim are stainless. I can't think of anything that is stainless on the 56 Crown, that's not also stainless on the 55 Crown.
