32 v8 video

https://youtu.be/40FpBw8xRw4?si=pmKsh6LfTDYpfy5e

Posted a couple of days ago, some of the footage seems later than 1932.
I did get to see engine no. 1 at the Henry Ford museum about 5 years ago.

Re: Back end of a T-5

My Uncle had a small I-H hit and miss bolted to his back porch. Once a year we’d get to visit and he would start it up and let it run a few minutes, I think that’s how I got to be a gear head.

Re: Change from 16 inch wheels to 15 inch wheels

I went with “15 to get rid of the bias ply tubed tires and install tubeless radials, this also lowered the car about 1 inch all around. I can now polish the roof easier.

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)

Looks like motor in my ‘41 which I know is not original, just a run of the mill 221 made from 1938-1942. I have 2 bare blocks and 1 extra complete motor with little or no markings on them.

It might, I had a very early ‘50 and it had a lot of ‘49 parts on it, I was the 3rd owner.
