I’ve sandcast my own in aluminum but since I’m in Sweden I guess that’s to no help

Can’t upload the picture it seems but I guess most of you know what a flathead cam looks like and it just has a G stamped on it

Hello! Does anyone know what cam this is? It’s stamped with a G and that’s all.. I purchased the engine last week and the seller didn’t know much about it, it’s a 59A and it got adjustable lifters and aluminum cam gear so at least someone has done something to it along the way

Ok thanks for the quick reply’s guys! I guess I’ll pass on the offer and keep looking then

Hello! Can anybody tell me if there’s any difference between the Ford and the Mercury overdrive transmissions? I got a 50 Ford coupe with the regular 3 speed and have been offered a complete 50 Mercury overdrive transmission, so the question is will it fit? Is it bolt on or is there any...

I would say the stanchions.. The cowl don't look like roadster to me

I will check all the mains and rods and report back how it turns out

Ok, I will check clearence on all bearings again and then start it up and see what happens Thanks for the advice and answers

It is a "B" engine and dist so I can't retard the spark It only knocks at normal speed nothing on idle or accelerating

The reason I pulled the pan was a knock that I tought was a main bearing since it match this troubleshooting guide http://www.foxvalleymarc.com/Tech_section/troubleshooting_engine_noises.html

Ok, thanks guys.. I will check the rest of the bearings today and see what it looks like. How much crack endplay is ok?
