Default Re: 51 Merc v/8 into 40 ford

The ad was in the v/8 times magazine and the builder is an Early v/8 club member, as I am. He is a retired Ford mechanic, who has rebuilt both of the 8ba's in his 40 Tudor and 35 pu. An incentive to me is that he has already did the 40/8ba swap and is supposed to outfit me with all parts needed afte I OK deal. He said I will be provided with receipts. I hope that includes machine receipts. the compressio test sounds like a real good idea. I understand about overheating variables. This is my first time buying rebuilt, and with already having two used, running flatheads go from good to worst, you can understand my aprehension.
