Got my "new" flathead today.

[kentucky]

This morning I loaded up my trailer and grabbed my young'un and headed to Parts Guy's place in the hills. PG had a flatty tucked away that I spied up there a few weeks ago while looking for a fender for my coupe. We ended up making a deal on the flatty. It used to belong to a friend of mine and was rebuilt before he got it. I think it was yanked by some "street rodder", probably replaced by an sbc (we really need an eyes rolling smiley http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif) Anyways, I now have a low mileage flathead to go in the 46. I'll probably clean up my Speed Gems 2 carb adapter and throw an extra carb on there for now until I can get the coin to buy a proper super dual and some heads. Now I'm off to look up my serial # and figure out what this puppy came out of.

Me being an idiot and all I forgot to get any digital pics of my engine, but PG did have this out behind the building.

Too bad this thing was trashed. You would have to be the man to save this one, and I'm not him http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif

I didn't ask, it's a lot rougher than it looks. If you want I'll give him a call tomorrow and get back to you. If you're interested I'll get up there next week and give you a more thorough report on it, just let me know.

I know the feeling. I'm gonna check into it a little more for another HAMBer. One with skills, of which I have none http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

that merc sure is a little gem even if it is in tough shape. Is that a 59 ford in front of it? Does this guy have a big stash of cars and parts or what?

and how does butt have only 181 posts (not that it matters, but........) ??? http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif

He has a lot of 60's and 70's ford truck parts, a few older cars(not many) and a lot of miscellanous stuff like trim and window regulators. The best thing is he has a lot of contacts, and gets new stuff in pretty often. Around the merc there is the 59? ford, a 40 dodge, about a 46 ford truck, a 53 or so F1, a 57 chevy panel wagon all need a lot.

So did you find out how much for the Merc.?
Oh, and some pics. of the flathead would be nice.
