Re: What motor is it
You have 2 different questions, really...what engine and what was it in.
First, look on bellhousing for a "59", the likeliest flying guess from the inadequate information. If so, '45-48 like Ken says, but your setup of accessories is not for a '46-8 car...this engine became essentially the universal replacement flathead for early Fords. If no 59 mark, a LOT more info is needed to ID the engine itself. Fan on crank would be from some '39-41 car applicaton, some of the pickups of that period, and I think some later big trucks. Clutch sounds likely to be 11", truck and HD option for others. If pulleys up front are 2-sheave, the thing definitely lived in a truck. If single sheave, it is likely from a car or pickup. |
