Good enough! Thanks guys

Just a 36 pickup. All steel, but not original box.

Wasn’t there some member on here that you could send your oil pump to and he would rebuild it or am I mistaken.

Awesome. I didn't realize that UPS would ship anything that heavy. I will definitely check that out. Should be easy enough.

Who does everyone use for shipping? BLUE line Freight (Fastenal doesn't ship from east zone to West). I found a transmission in Tennessee. Wondering what is the best method of getting it to Colorado. Suggestions? Thanks in advance.

All good points and I will contemplate all of it. The supports caps will be a no go for me. I appreciate the input.

Thanks fellas. We have a Hotsy at work that I can use. I will get it good and hot and then oil it all right after. The seller hadn't said anything about it being a 4"crank, so I feel like I scored pretty well. The engine was supposedly some reputable local flathead guys spare a couple owners...

Here is a pic of some of the crud in the lifter gallery. Should I just send it and change the oil several times?

Hey guys, i bought this replacement engine about a month ago. It is a 239 bored .040 over and to my surprise it has a 4"crank. It isn't a fresh rebuild, but no ridge on cylinders and rotates seemingly fine. I dont want to tear it all apart but I want to remove all of the grime. Is it safe to...

I got it. Dumb $ss me. I was trying to pull the grill and radiator out together. Didn't realize the bolt that held the hood ornament on actually kept them from separating.

Thanks. I have had it about 6 weeks. When I bought it, it was supposed to just need a little going over to make it drivable...I bought it sight unseen, so you know how that goes. Fired it up, water in the oil. One thing leads to another. I was aware that it wasnt the original engine, someone...

That's what I was hoping for. I don't really want to take the fenders off, but I might have to.

Hey guys, I am pulling old engine out of my 36 pickup. I figured that I could just pull the grill and radiator without taking the fenders off and out she'd come....but it seems that I have run into a snag. The tabs on the bottom of the radiator seem to be catching and it appears that I have to...

Sounds logical. I'm not gonna let it keep me awake at night anyway :) thanks fellas

OK thanks. It must just be an odd ball. Otherwise I would imagine that they all would have it.
