Mpgp1999 Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Hello I am looking for a spare engine for my 1935 Ford. I drive this vehicle often and I am going to wear out the engine. I’m looking for a spare engine that I can rebuild now. That way when the engine I have wears out I can just swap it and be on my way.

bobcanuck Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Just a thought ... I believe that late 1936 engines came with insert bearings ... might be easier to rebuild (ie no babbit). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use my own mixture of antimony and lead. I’m trying to outfit my barn as a period correct machine shop and mechanic shop. I work at a restoration shop and I repair other peoples cars on the side. All prewar cars. Mainly brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
