I picked up a new motor for my '65 Chevy truck last night. I decided to go with a 1950 Ford 239 flathead. A couple of years a go I built a nice 307 for the truck and added a T5 transmission. But anyway you look at it, it looks like a 350, sounds like a 350 etc.. I don't want no stinking 350. I really wanted a flathead 6 but the V8 came along at the right price "fo free", we found it in the back of my brothers shed. The thing is all there and still has a standard bore and crank.
I think the only mods I'll do to it is to cut the shaft off the distributer and graft on a GM HEI and put a 4 barrle intake on do I can run a Carter AFB. It has a removeble bell housing so I will put a 700R4 behind it so I can drink coffee on the way to the dump. Everything else should be great left 1950 Ford.
What do you guys think?
