You can help by removing the clutch housing and flywheel and bolt the block to the engine stand

I was just considering other options, I want to be able to do a run-up & test this motor before I do the swap..

Re: Self/repair & rebuilding my "G" model flathead SIX
Also, I am looking for input on the Pros & Cons of keeping the H motor instead of the G.. for instance, the front crab distributor is fairly maintenance free (no timing adjustments to speak of) But how about the H motor "Loadamatic"? Is it capable of performance increase or replacement with a mallory?
I read somewhere that you can weld a gm style distributor to a ford shaft.. Or am I getting too far ahead of myself.. I will email Jim at Bubba's Ignition for the best advice. Basically, I want to build a motor with slight performance increase but with the reliability I currently have..

The HEI might be good performance...but they sure aren´t pretty in a nice original car. I usually take a compact accel or similar and adapt it...you get same performance and points. Cut down the head of the H to raise compression that will give you increased power and mileage. |

Re: Self/repair & rebuilding my "G" model flathead SIX
Ok.. I was taking a closer look at "H" motor on the stand.. And I noticed what looks like a weld/repair to the rear of the block at the intake/exhaust.. I haven't cleaned it up as yet.. Is this a terrible problem? I am not worried as I have a source for another block.. just wondering if should strip the motor down & pick up the 2nd block... The crap we find when we look closer at things..
