Re: Remanufactured Flathead
Interesting question. I went back and checked the refurbish manual. Same as today, pressure tested. Little different equipment setup, but same test.

Re: Remanufactured Flathead
I finally was able to load up pictures of the engine.

Re: Remanufactured Flathead
That looks like a 41 block to me, the so called raised intake manifold area. Could be slightly later if war year production, and I have no idea on the Canadian or overseas models.

Re: Remanufactured Flathead
Look around the top right corner and see if 99A is stamped into the "raised intake" area. If so, that is the good pre-war Merc. block that, generally, had thick walls. Only a sonic test will confirm how thick.

Re: Remanufactured Flathead
I'm doing research on the Authorized Ford Rebuilder network as my dad worked at Meyer and Welch, in Veron, CA after the war. I did a thread about it, a while back. I'm trying to collect pictures, of all the tags that I can find and any other info, that might be available.
If anyone has pictures, I would really like to document them for my files. Here are a couple of others that I have.

Re: Remanufactured Flathead
Dick, here’s a picture of the one I have. This company may have been the closest facility for Factory Remans, being that we’re both not that far from Boston. Mine is #49139. Can you read the number on yours? This has the number high on the bell like yours but has a “59” down in the usual area. 59 A-B heads. It powered a water pump at the S.D. Warren paper mill in Westbrook........Mark

Re: Remanufactured Flathead
That is a very clean looking engine. 21 stud, no way a 59, 24 stud. Good point someone made about clean oil. I have had number of engines that sat for years, pull the dipstick and oil is clean as whistle, all the dirt settles to bottom of the pan. Cote Ford was large dealer in Mattapan, (Boston), on Cummings Hwy. They were very diversified and sold a lot of trucks.
