Default Re: 1941 Ford Pickup frame-off restore for the next generation

So what I found was a couple things. 2 quarter sized holes in the 2 rear cylinders, motor had already been punched out to 3.1875, 0.020 over.
Crank had rod journals turned over .030, and main journals were shot.

So block goes to machine shop, 2 sleeves installed and bored to .060.

I found a great crank from H&H Flatheads, main and rod bearings, I also had Mike recondition my rods.

All my other engine parts came from Van Pelt Sales. Great people to deal with.

Machine said 2-4 weeks and ends up being 6 months, I guess thats the way machine shops work. LOL
