I bought a flathead that is in rather poor condition. I thought it might make an interesting little project and would be a good subject for a series of videos. Will it run? No chance. It might one day, who knows?

As far as I can tell, it's a circa 1940 "Mercury" motor, probably the truck/military version. It has the bigger bore. I think it has the earlier valve angles I'm not sure yet. If anyone can share any info on the spec please chime in.

I'm trying a new video editing software. See what you think. The audio could be better, that will be addressed in any future episodes. You might need to adjust the volume.

Hopefully people will find it interesting to see what comes of it.

Anyway check the video.
