The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Bought three Flathead V8 engines yesterday

The bottom end of the "car engine" seems pretty good, no water damage, bearings are buggered but you would expect that. The main bearing shells still have Ford Made in Canada on the backs so I think they could be originals? Would go with the standard bores.. one piston had been replaced at some time.

Still trying to get the oil pump and cam out. Oil pump is REAL well stuck! Heat will be the next thing to try....
