Re: Hanging flatheads?
I also posted a reply about this picture over at the FTE forum. All engines in this picture are correct for 1952 Ford production. The car engines are tangerine and the truck engines are green. The picture must have been taken during 1952 production and included in the 1953 Ford book.

Re: Hanging flatheads?
Having read the posts from people more familiar with the later motors, and taking into account the source of the photo, I'd have no problem believing this was a regular production facility rather than a rebuild setup.
I'd like to see more pics in a similar vein. I've been in the automobile industry for 40 years, so I'm fascinated by this stuff. I was at ford's Yucca proving ground when it was the 50th anniversary of that site and they had some great archive photo's on display. I wish some of those could be made available. Mart. |

Re: Hanging flatheads?
They don't show the transmission, but flathead Lincolns were often fitted with the GM Hydramatic transmissions, a Ford didn't have their own automatic until later.
