studerex Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 Price and location? big or small 8? Condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudeLS3 Posted January 12, 2022 Author Share Posted January 12, 2022 Parts are located in Zeeland Michigan. I am trying to find information on how much these parts are worth but can't find much on things this old. The engine, I was told was overhauled approx. 35 years ago, was reinstalled in the car and never run. The engine was in Victoria and if it is the big or small 8, I have no idea. I am sure the engine would have to be disassembled. The bearings might be OK but I am sure the cylinders will need work. I will try to find out if it is the big or small 8. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone can tell me where to look. Here are pictures of the 1929 President 8 and Commander 8 engines. I have circled the location of the stamped engine number for both engines. If the President is a 1929 the stamped engine number will begin with "FE" A 1929 Commander 8 stamped engine number will begin with "FD" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jet Doc Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I would be interested in all of the parts if they came from an FD Commander. I’m in SW Michigan, about an hour away. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudeLS3 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 The parts come from a President Victoria. The tag on the fire wall is FHC with some numbers behind that. The parts I have are mechanical parts no body parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudeLS3 Posted January 19, 2022 Author Share Posted January 19, 2022 There is not a number above the water jacket and on the end boss there is just the number 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the water plate above the water pump have squared or rounded ends? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudeLS3 Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 The corners of the water plate are rounded. The end boss is clean and painted, I will use the wire wheel on my side grinder and remove the paint. I can see the #16 real plain now and no other numbers show. I will check again after I remove the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StudeLS3 Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 I'm not sure I understood the squared/round water plate description. The one I have is rectangular with rounded corners. The whole end is not round. I would send a picture but would have to have one of my grandkids do it. :>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
