Default Re: The "W" Block

Very interesting! So in those days "W" may have been a generic term for a thick walled block.

In my Ford V8 Cars and Trucks book, I found a reference for COE, Ford trucks using "W". They where called 81W, 91W and 01W for 1938-40. It doesn't list beyond '40 but, I would imagine it applied to all COE trucks. I wonder if it had anything to do with the engines that went in them?

Ol' Ron, how did you pick the blocks that you bored 1/4" over?
