flathead identification
Question guys I hear 59ab and 8ba for flatheads. What is the engine designation for 35 and 36 flatheads. Is it the car model or some other number.
Thanks Bob |

Re: flathead identification
Hi Everyone, robertwg, in 1935 and 1936 the engines are called '21 Stud' and were standard with 221 cu. in. In 1936 some were poured babbit bearings and some were insert bearings, those are called LB's. The only reliable way to know which is to pop off a main bearing cap.
A suggestion, take a look for the Search Forum button in the red bar when you're looking at the list of topics. Put in Engine Identification and have fun!

There were 221 blocks like the 18 & 81A then 239 blocks like the 99A and so on. There is an engine ID thread that has pictures if you do a search. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showth...ighlight=block Last edited by rotorwrench; 03-15-2016 at 05:50 PM. Reason: add link |
