I've changed the distributor from rabbits ears to crab type. It runs real strong. It also has an 11" clutch which it seems was std here in NZ for 47-48 Fords.
Bassman, that is the same block I built for a guy in Canada, also the 3 big water holes in the block head gasket surface, the bottom hole had 59 right in the center. I bored this to 3-5/16 and used a Merc 4in. crank and Max 1 cam, 38 heads witch are smaller and the guy is useing a 4bbl carb I think. Walt
