Hi Ed. Do you know the tear of the 21 stud? Does it have the place for the water pumps on the front of the block or do the pumps go in the front of the heads? Is it Babbitt mains or inserts? Thanks Walt

The block in your avatar is a 24 stud block.The 21 stud blocks have a head stud in the lower center of each cyl bore.

elwood · 08-30-2013, 06:23 PM

hey columbia, im not talking about the block in my avatar.
Walt, its a insert block with the pumps in the block.
Want it ?

TonyM · 08-30-2013, 06:55 PM

If I was nearby, I would ask to come get it. I saved the EAB block in my avatar. It got me back into the old car hobby. I hope to have this EAB rebuilt some day.

That would be a '37 - early '38 block. Can be built to look like a '32-'36 engine by using WP block off plates. I believe someone said the '37- e'38 blocks could be bored 1/8" over original bore to 3-3/16". I just sold a very nice block like that that was totally crack free and cleaned up at 0.020" over. Going in a '34 PU.

I have a friend in England looking for a good 21 stud block right now. Anyone on here have a container going that way?

Back in the 50's a friend of mine was one of the hot dog stock car race driver of the day, he is in the Maine stock car hall of fame. Blackie Hillyard. He loved those 37 21studs. he would bore them 3-3/16 I think the crank was lighter than the later cranks, feather weight flywheel, he would put the heads in a coal furnace and fill the combustion chamber with brass. Then mill the heads just to clean them. They never ran a tach in those days but boy would he make those engine scream. Walt

over here in the u.k blocks like this are as rare as rocking horse poo, there would be a scramble for it ....most generous to be giving it away elwood ,hope it goes to a deserving home , cheers jim.

elwood · 08-31-2013, 06:03 PM

Elwood:

I hear you and think this is a real solid move. Good luck with the hand off.

Take care,

Tim

Funny how all you guys seem to think the later blocks are the way to go....I much prefer the 21 stud engines, for much the reason Walt gives; man those things will rev!
Elwood, good for you, the price is right, I hope you find the most deserving candidate for it.

VeryTangled · 08-31-2013, 10:57 PM

Hello Everyone, Elwood, have you heard of the Early Ford V8 Club? It sounds to me like rebuilding this engine, done by some youngsters, and funded by some oldsters, would maybe pay it forward, and keep the hobby going another generation. I suggest you contact a regional group near you and see if you can get both some financial support and some candidate youngsters for a life-changing experience. http://www.earlyfordv8.org/early-ford-directory.cfm

Just my 2 cents.
