Ford Flathead engine swap part 4 and 5. Gettin' it ready then first run and drive!
 

Yep, the last two parts of the Ol'59 Flatty into the 41 pickup engine swap!

Try and watch part 4 before part 5.

Part 4: getting the engine built up and ready to run:

That was great, Mart. Really enjoyed being with you & Jack on the break-in run of the Ol'59 Flatty. And so nice that it is running well!

I see you have made the big time - commercials even!

Watched yesterday, great first run and many more to come. Your last video reminded me of an incident I had years ago, filled fuel bowl with gas after removing top of carburetor(no vent tube, early 91-99 carb) and neglected to tighten fuel line to carb so when it fired up gas was spurting out over my newly painted engine! You wisely after a long day and realizing you had neglected to add engine oil called it a day and now have a successful first run.
