Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
Great post, Thanks for starting it off, 38coupe. Thanks to the other contributors too.
I missed this the first time round. I've been interested if flattys for decades now, and this is the first time I saw or even heard about the lipped guides and big springs. Thanks again. Mart. |

Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
Yes, this is very educational, I'd like to see the inside of the valve valley more clearly.

Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
I'd like to see how the main bolts fit into the valley. This is similar ti JWL suggestion for strengthening the crankshaft. Did the front main also come into the valley?? Thanks great pics.

Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
Hey Ron, those early blocks 32-3-4 had long main bolts that when down round holes in the valley. the bolts had square heads like a Model A main bearing bolt. You had to have a thin wall square deep socket to go down the hole to hold the head of the bolt. All 3 mains had those bolts. They were a pain in the a--. i'm glade they did away with those in 35.

Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
Here you are and sorry bout the cobwebs as this thing has been asleep for some time .The holes are sometimes filled with gook and like Walt said they can be a pain to deal with as the square heads don't take a normal socket .

Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
Thanks for the pictures. It helps me understand more the correctness of the motor with the car I have. It's all pointing toward being the right block so far, according to the great information on this site. Thanks for the help.

Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
Yes, Thank you very much. I like this method of holding in the crank, I wonder why ford changed to studs. Cheaper??

Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
What you seek is already here . Post 14 has a pic of a one of my 33 motors from the front showing the " recess " . Post 35 has pics of a 32 " non-recessed " block of Randys . If you double click on the 33 pic it will show you a bigger version of the pic . The RH recess on 35-36 blocks is shallower to allow for the vent passage .

Re: Engine block I.D. pictures
Randy;
Great 32 block pictures! Good - Good! Good thread 38 Coupe and all posters--still much to learn filling in details on each model. Still looking for 59 "a" (&"AB" if?) USA block, not head, pictures. Canada 59s covered OK , at least to begin--separate Thread? No slight intended. Any others have clear pictures of USA 59 variant "letter" blocks? Upside Y , L blocks have been uploaded. Anyone with X, Z, V, others? Fun and getting better! Gene Tulsa |
