I know for example that the transmission casting is unique to the 6-cylinder (even though the internal gears are the same as the V8). It is pretty rare to find one, and would be worth good money to someone who is looking for one. Same thing for the manifolds, and several other parts. In other...

I can vouch for the somewhat limited parts availability for the G-Series. I am in the process of restoring one now….parts are still out there, but you have to know where to look. I understand the 6 cylinder engines are good, smooth running, and reliable engines with a ton of torque, but...

I was originally going to title this post "what am I missing?" but I think somebody would have answered "you are missing the engine...duh!" :) What I am really asking is: What the heck does the missing exhaust support bracket (that attaches the welded tab on the exhaust pipe to the frame)...

I am looking for the metal cover piece that mounts over the heat riser spring mechanism in the early G-Series 6-Cylinder engines. It looks like the rounded top of a can with some curved cutouts. It is part # 1GA-9434. I put a picture from the green bible, and another picture of one on a manifold...

Kube, Point well taken. If you know of a definitive color sample available somewhere, I sure couldn’t find it,, and would love to see it. Even though this original paint has been heat cycled a million times, at least it hasn’t been fading out in the sun for years like paint on a car roof, and...

Here is the formula:

After exhaustively searching the internet for the original paint color on the early G-Series 6-Cylinder engines, I took some paint thinner and wiped away what I can only assume was a topcoat of rattlecan regular Ford Engine Green paint, to reveal the remnants original paint! I had it color...

My Christmas wish is that everyone here on the Ford Barn are and remain happy and healthy….and that many, many additional people also fall in love with these beautiful old flatheads, and help keep this fantastic hobby rolling! Merry Christmas!

Hi, I am looking to buy a backup generator for my 1941 G-Series 6-cylinder Engine. They are kind of rare because of the unique mounting bracket and pulley. Thanks! Mike Herbeck

Hi, I am hoping that somebody out there has some information about using the Ford hot water heater with the g-series or h-series 6 cylinder Ford flathead engine.in the 1941 to 1946/48 era. I have some good information about the kit that provides a shutoff valve and the connection to the engine...

Hi, I am trying to find a nice original open car inside door handle in nice condition. Please message me here, or you can also reach me at: Email:mnherb@yahoo.com Phone: 816-832-7276 Thanks! Mike

Looking for a 1941 truck heater. It will have the push/pull damper knob in the front upper left corner, and the drain plug fitting on the lower right bottom of the case. Looking to purchase outright, or I do have a correct 1941 car heater (without the drain plug fitting) that I would be willing...

That makes a ton of sense. I hadn't considered the war effort. Thanks! Mike

The 1940 book said that voltage regulators were CAD plated. The 1941 book says they were zinc plated. Does anyone know for sure if this is correct? I tend to believe CAD in 1941 as well, but really want to be sure. Thanks! Mike

Hi, thanks for checking out my parts wanted ad! I am 0 for 2 looking for super rare and obscure parts, but I figure if I don’t ask I don’t find. Looking specifically for the upper left door hinge for a 1930’s early 40’s panel truck. Does anyone have a bad, rusted out rear door that still...
