Sorry about that, the motor is a 59 A/B at least that is what's on the heads and they do have 24 studs, the truck has the V8 60 emblems.

I was wondering if anyone knew what the value of a V8 60 (59a/b) Flathead would be, recent rebuild, runs and sounds good. And also I have the ****** and the whole front suspension. thanks

Man now I'm really confused as far as engine goes, I love the look of the flathead all dressed out, but do want more hp. I was leaning towards a stroked small block until I got the flathead running with little effort, may have to go back to original plan. Thanks to all that have posted on this...

Oh man I'm in heaven with the links that all of you provided, thanks to everyone who put their 2 cents in. As far as what I'm doing with the truck, and the drivetrain/suspension handling more power, I have already changed the front suspension to a modern MII with disc brakes and rack - n -...

Not to sound ignorant, but who or what is JWL's book and where do you find it. Thnx.

I don't know but I'll give you a 100 bucks for it, I'm in ND

Does anyone know how to get more HP out of a 59A-B flathead. I would like to upgrade the engine to 12volt system and pump out alot more then the original 80-90 hp, if anyone has done this please give an IM or e-mail. I know alot of you are chomping at the bit, but this is the direction I want to...

How does the steering column and steering box seperate, I cant see a nut or anything holding it together or am I just missing it. I've pulled, beat and pry'd but cannot get it to come apart. Any thoughts of wisdom! This is on a '37 pickup

Quik question, were is the best lifting point's on a flathead engine? I'm wanting to pull motor out to work on frame and do not want to damage motor.

here is the link to the truck starting up....enjoy I did haha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jh5M-c-_R6U No they had the wrong wire to the coil, so I put the right one on and finally got juice to it and she started right up

Mike51Merc, you it right on the head, I had no spark to coil, hooked a wire up and feed it alittle gas and beast roared to life. I have to get lower radiator hoses and belts for it so I can run it longer but she is alive and breathing. Thanks to everyone with their input and thoughts, its...

I guess I should of mentioned that I'm jumping the battery to starter, hence I do not have the ignition key, but I should probably disconnect the key switch from the system, would that keep it from firing?

Ok, I have not noticed a ground to the cab, my battery cable goes to the engine block and I have not noticed any other ground cables, will have to look when I get off work and make sure. I will also post engine pics and maybe all of you can share your experience with me and get this thing fired...

Yes, there is "59" casted on the back of block or ****** I can't remember which

Ok, got the serial # off the frame it is 54-379285, on the top of tranmission reads L671, the heads have 59A-B on them and are 24 stud head
