Re: Flat 337 Lincoln in a '39 CVS
V12Bill and Dale make good points. However, I posted this because this car is not the all to common, run of the mill SBC in a Ford (you pick the year). What I liked about this article is that it is "real Hot Rodding" from a guy back in the day. Wouldn't it be cool if that car still existed today with that engine. The article states that Austin bought it back but without the 337 engine. I wonder what changes he made to the suspension to make the car roadable. Back then, he had to design and make his own parts to accomplish his goal. No CE or Fatman to provide the "stuff" he needed. As Bruce said, he went on to other projects and even started manufacturing for others. Good ole American know how and Free Enterprise at work. I did Google his name and came up with a man of 93 years of age in the Portland area. Might be him. Anyway, that would be a cool car to replicate. Ken
