Re: 8BA block cracked
The tiny crack from the water jack to the head bolt hole is very easy to fix.
The pan rail crack though. WHEW.

Re: Is this original engine?
I finally saw one of these elusive 1938 V8s with a 21 stud in person. It threw me for a moment.
Very cool vehicle that solidifies the history.

Re: Correct Carb for my 1940 Ford
I am also intrigued. I believe this is a zinc coating that was not used on the carburetors until later in the 1960s. I am not sure. Excited for any answer.

Re: Mouse smell
Odo-ban. Eucalyptus based cleaner. It is amazing.
Vinegar is my other thought. To be followed by bleach.
Best of luck.
