38 delivery van
I’ve been looking for a model A delivery van. But I found a 38 delivery van it has no motor or transmission in it. I can’t find a v8 motor for that year. But I have an extra model A motor and transmission. Does anyone know if that will bolt to that 38 without doing any modifications. Thanks Randy

Re: 38 delivery van
No and No. Totally different mounting scheme, length and width. If the 38 is in good shape, it would be too valuable to butcher.

Re: 38 delivery van
just lose that thought- as Jim says.
if you really want it- buy yourself a v-8 to drop in. if youre patient, a good one can be had for 1000. or less. on the HAMB....... Last edited by ronn; 03-26-2022 at 02:42 PM. |

Re: 38 delivery van
Try posting on the early V8 forum, somebody will surely have a flathead
that will work. Any thing from the late 30's to late 40's would work. |

Re: 38 delivery van
I'm assuming that the van uses the same frame as a p/u. If so a 59 series or 8ba will be the ticket. I have an 8ba in my '39 p/u. Had to use a truck pan for clearance.

Re: 38 delivery van
I don't know where you are located but if interested I have a flat head 6 cylinder. I know nothing about them but I have been told they have the same HP as an 8 but some say they will outrun the 8.

Re: 38 delivery van
59A was rated @ 100 HP, 6 cylinder was 90 HP.

Re: 38 delivery van
Flathead 6 ford won’t pull your hat off, and it’s not ‘38 correct.. ‘38 was the 85 and the 60 horse, another gutless wonder..itty bitty pistons..
