The Ford Barn

Tom in SW VA · 07-05-2017, 02:29 PM

Fordbarners: I have a 37 V-8 engine that needs a rebuild. Who would you recommend? I would like for the vendor to rebuild and install. Any suggestions. I live in far SW Virginia near TN, KY, NC, and WV.

Thanking you in advance....................

You might want to contact Michael or Danny Driskell @ Third Generation Automotive in TN, and see who they would recommend.

If you can make it as far East as Lanexa VA (route 60 15 miles west of Williamsburg) you can count on Jimmy's Engine Service. John Mullen works in that shop and has done many flatheads, including mine. They have a test stand for the flathead, but do not install. Buy an engine hoist with load leveler for about $200, and pull it and install it yourself.

Certainly, that Mark can't be the famous Mark Moriarity that built the infamous "Atomic Yard Master" mower, among hundreds of other mechanical wonders? Nah..........! DD

The Mark Moriarty I know has just one "i" in his last name and is a Ford man.

Moriarity is also a "Ford" man (his '40 shown here), not to mention several of the original Ed "Big Daddy" Roth cars he also owns and has restored. DD
