OL' Ron, thanks, coming from you that means a lot. Yes, I knew the 59 engines were postwar, but I found it 2 miles from home. It had adjustable lifters and was absolutely crack free. Friend of mine had it who has been a hot rodder since the 1950's. I met him for the first time in 1974 when I was 15. For some reason he has always tried to help me with my old Fords. I was gone 42 years and moved back here about a year and a half ago. I went out to visit Ronnie with my 48 business coupe and told him he was slipping. 40 years ago an old Ford couldn't slip into town without him knowing it! Running into Chris (Sugarmaker) has been a blessing too. Wouldn't have gotten half of what I have done without him. There's a neat story there too I'll save for another day. In the end the cars are really neat but the frienships made are even more valuable.
