Well things just changed a bit. After cleaning the engine and heads I find that I have a 59 block with 59a and 59ab heads. So does that make this a 1946 engine? The truck still has the original 4spd trans with matching chassis number BB18-513999. It is set up as a single wide belt engine, fan on the end of the generator, crab style distributor. How in the dickens do you get the lower bolt out of the water pumps with it inside the lower hose flange? This is my first Ford flathead and I am confused as to what years all the parts are and what will interchange. Thanks for the help and understanding.
