JO BO Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Hello, I may purchase a 1934 Ford and wish to install an original engine in it. It currently has a newer flat head. Novice here on this year Ford. How difficult is it to find a good original engine? What is a fair price if I do find one? I have a rough 1937 with transmission ...will parts from that interchange somewhat if needed? With all the hot rods around I would think there would be some around....Appreciate any help.

19tom40 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I know that they are hard to find and the ones with the poured Babbitt main bearings are expensive to rebuild. Here is a page that will help you identify the correct block. If you buy one make sure that you get a guarantee of a refund if it is not rebuildable. Many of these blocks are cracked and some of the cracks can be repaired reasonably other cracks can be repaired at a great expense and some crack cannot be repaired.

JO BO Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Thanks for the info. Hopefully a good used or rebuilt one in useable shape will show up via this post. Have to be sure on getting the car first though I guess. One of those cart before the horse things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
