Reading with great interest as I may try to start the 37 21 stud engine this spring. It has been sitting since the early 60's. It was stuck but with some MMO and a tire iron to pry on the flywheel teeth I managed to free it up after about an hour of soaking. Debating about trying to try it or open it up for inspecion first. I know very little about its history other than the transmission was put in a 37 tudor. Thinking it was used as a parts car for the tudor. I do know the rearend out of the car is shot and likely the reason it was parked. Car was laying on its right side for many years with the rearend close by. Rod
