My rebuilt engine is leaking coolant through some of the head bolts.. Yes even after I re-torqued to 55lbs! I want to pull the head and try a new gasket.. where can I find one for a 226 SIX "G" model?.. C&G only shows a head gasket for an "H" model engine. I think some coolant got into my...

Ok.. so my flathead SIX, (12 volt) is dialed in and starts every time. My friend's stock 47 V8 (6 volt) starter always turns over but doesn't want to start. We can push/pull/bump start it and it runs fine. The coil was replaced recently as well as the condenser. Sometimes it will start after...

I am almost finished rebuilding my 1947, Ford flathead SIX G model engine. My crankshaft pulley is cracked through and unrepairable.. I am looking for a good pulley with the harmonic balancer attached! The type I need is for the car, not the truck type which is different (different offset...

I am considering taking the plunge and doing my own re-build of my early 1947, 226 C.I. "G" model SIX cylinder motor. I know many questions will come up through this. My first questions are: 1. Harbor Freight (I know, china crap) has a folding version motor stand with a 2K capacity.. Would...

I am looking for a replacement motor or replacement block for my tired flathead SIX.. A G series 226 is fine.. but I am considering a 254 cubic inch from a big truck if any are available..

Ok.. So I know my 47 G Model SIX cylinder is original and highly unlikely to have been rebuilt. I took her on a road trip last weekend and put about 600 miles on the motor. After about 200 miles, I started to get a terrible drip. Basically the oil I believe is seeping out the front...

Ok.. I've read several posts on here about removing rusty items & freeing stuck motors using a combination of Marvel Mystery Oil, Automatic Trans Fluid, etc... I removed the 4 bolts holding the fan & fan pulley to the water pump of my 1947 Ford Fordor with the flathead SIX motor (G model)...

Ok.. so my cable & turtle are new & replaced when I rebuilt my transmission... I know.. I know, I should have re-habbed my speedometer while waiting for my trans to be rebuilt.. it was working fine for about two months.. then just went haywire.. bouncing everywhere.. There are very few...

Ok.. I know it's been discussed before, my buddy needs a new 6 volt, flow thru electric fuel pump. It's for a 1947 FORDOR sedan with v8. Any suggestions?.. I told him he should use that type and re-install his mechanical pump... We went to an event yesterday and he was having intermittent...

I was talking to someone (I can't remember who) that said I can replace the single barrel Holly on my 1947 flathead G model straight six with a later model carb from an early 60's ford six cylinder.. Does anyone know what model car/engine he was talking about and the model/brand of the...

Title says it all.. What is a complete system set up worth?.. When it was on.. it was rust-free and working fine.. My buddy insisted on removing his stock set-up... I couldn't stop him... :eek:

I have the "G", 226 cu inch, SIX cylinder... It's been about a year and 3,000 miles I have put on the original stock motor.. I think I am getting "pre-detonation" at idle, the motor gives an occasion rattle noise at low rpms and runs rough, then smooths out at higher rpms.. I figure I need to...
