Re: 1942 Ford deluxe coupe project
RKS.PA. There was oddly enough a 59 AB with the car when I bought the car. Had adjustable lifters and bored .125. When I moved from Iowa I paid a guy to haul it. The car and engine disappeared (he later went to jail for stealing classic cars). One day the car showed up but no engine. I figured I could find another engine but couldn't replace the car. Kind of like having your dog run away. You're just happy he came home! Original engine would've had an "A"
stamped on the head, "raised deck" with a crab distributor. 221 cubes vs 239 of the 59 AB's. Transmission is original with the 1942 VIN stamped on it.
