85hp or what?

[skidmarks]

Besides taking it apart, what is it?

The block has a raised deck at the intake but no numbers stamped in the block along the intake manifold. Has A heads but has a 2 bolt crab distributor.

I took this motor out of a 41 ford sedan, but doubt its the original engine to the car.

Is it just a common 85hp or is it something else?

Should be a 41 with the "raised" valley. Could be a slightly later block, but per 46 I would think.

Still just a 85hp- 221cid?

VanPelt's chart from his site: http://www.vanpeltsales.com/FH_web/flathead_specs-85to100mid.htm

The chart data says mid-41 thru 42 were the "raised" intake blocks.
