Re: Fuel pump pushrod hybrid

I know...

Re: Is this a '37 engine?
I too have a '37 engine, or at least what i believe to be a '37 truck engine (as over here we had Ford Pilot '37 style engines well into the '50s..) although it has standard block mounted water...

Re: Have a look at this concoction

Re: New to forum, newbie question
If memory serves me correctly, the later 21 stud and onwards water pump mounting heights are different to the earlier engines. Ford used a U shaped spacer to prop up the engines. I can't remember if...
