I will be quite interested to see what the buyer actually purchased. If it was the engine in the Littlefield catalogue, identified by them initially as a carrier engine... Well
we learn something new every day.
Early on they identified the engine as a Bren Carrier engine. That description appears in the printed catalogue I received. Was the description subsequently changed on-line to read : Ford Flathead V-8? Looking at single pulley water pumps, atypical fan blades, single cartridge oil conditioner/filter, wiring looms, water necks forward on the heads, and the truck style exhaust manifolds.
Update: the on-line description retains the wording 'Bren Carrier'.
How misleading is that? Buyer beware.
Not that there is anything wrong with the French blocks, nothing at all!
