Re: Speedway Stromberg 97 Quality?

Re: new (to me) flathead! help?
It has vacuum ports on the intake between #5&6 and #7&8 intake ports like a 39 merc. What is the serial # on the transmission? That could be a merc motor out of a truck.

Re: Two-Door Ford and Mercury Wagons
My Dad came home with a 56 RanchWagon. My brother and I wore him out getting in and out of the car. He said when he gets rid of this one he would never buy another 2 door car. Harley

Re: Bearing clearances ?
Listen to Ol' Ron. He has been building flatheads longer than I've been driving them. I started in 1962 in a 50 model. Harley
