Re: Rhode island engine
Good question. The engine in my pickup is the same color. It's a 59A. So is that the right color for 46 to 48?

Re: Rhode island engine
The paint is antique Ford green, it's the same from 1928 Model A to 41 in 42 they went to a dark blue. Walt

Thats a good looking power plant. Your 40 will wear it proud for many miles. Will you be ready for a ride in the later part of August? |

Re: Rhode island engine
I sure would like to hear that Flathead run, but it wont be anytime soon. You see i'm 76 years old (same as Walt) LoL and i work real "slow" and on top of that my back has given me a lot of trouble lately, and i've stil got a lot of work to do, some of it on my back under the car. If i can figure out why my computer wont let me post a picture i'll put one on.

Re: Rhode island engine
Hi Hope, I have an engine built by Ol'RON with around 20,000 mi on it and runs like a Deer. We must be 2 of the smartest flathead guys to use these 2 guys and we live 20 mi apart! Go figure. Tell us what you are putting the engine in.
Regards, Don |

Re: Rhode island engine
Hi Leo, my daughter just go my printer working with my new computer. For awhile I couldn't get pic out of my camrao and post them on the barn. She posted that little bit last night just to show me it works. I was going to tell the boys what was in the engine. 59 block - 276ci- 3-5/16+4in.- L-100 cam- 9.5 heads - it going to have dual carbs. Should be pretty snappy. Walt
