Re: Flathead block #

Go to the Ford Flathead V8 website page on Engine Identification. You will find basic id features for these motors over the years. There are other less obvious motor block differences that we can help pin down a bit closer. The big problem is the mixing and reassembling of many flathead motors by rebuilders in the past. Many times parts from other years are used which can confuse someone. I just picked up a nice motor last week...everything I see at first glance says 1941 but the block is a "59" series. Sometimes you have to pull them apart to know all that you have.

Somewhere I have read that the 59 block bored to 3 1/16 was an authorized replacement for the prewar cars. I guess that bit of info stuck with me because thats what is in my 39. Dannie
