Default Re: More flathead questions.

Some Canadian 1948 blocks had insert bearings as opposed to floaters (rods). Think these should have a casting C69 somewhere on them (bell housing?). FOMOCO NZ got CKD fords ex FOMOCO Canada. I has a c69 block in a 47 coupe I had years ago...with the inset bearings. This was the start of transition to 8BA but was in the style of a 59 engine. It was a Ford Canada thing and didn't follow in the US I believe.
