The Ford Barn - View Single Post - 51 f3 v8 flathead to 6 cylinder flathead swap

The original V8 was cracked and I bought another V8 and that was cracked as well. I got this g series for next to nothing already rebuilt. It was a military fire truck engine. Yes, parts are a little difficult to find. I am sure it will fit, cant be much different from the h series. Dimensionally it measures about the same, just not sure if the mounting in 51 between the 6 and 8 are different. The truck is going to be a family heirloom, it was my dad's. It will be driven as much as possible. Got a long way to go but will get there. Thanks for the interest.
