Re: I know my Ford has the original engine
Rebuilt/remanufactured engines were readily available here from many suppliers. My uncle had a rebuilt installed in the 39 Ford around 1950. It still has the tag firmly affixed to the block "rebuilt by Ford of Canada". The big mail order catalogues also offered a full line of rebuilts. This 1948 Macleods catalogue I have lists various engines rebuilt minus the heads. The early Ford V8 was listed at $170 outright or $50 less if you had an exchange block.
