Paul. beautifull job this is what i love to see when it comes to engnes

DTI guage is a must for any thorough engine builder... hope mine looks as good as yours, did you replace the head studs or were the threads still ok on your originals.

well done looks awesome ! looks to be the same block as mine except mine does not have the lip on the block where the inlet mannifold sits. same prizm and triangles on the block face same 24 studs too. wonder if my block has been machined

The engine came from a carrier and was restored in the early '50 by a company in holland. they stored all the engines for years. Got this one from a frind ho knows the owner's son. It's a canadian build engine but it came with the wrong camshaft (early 50' for a side mount disributor) so i had to take the engine a part again. that was a good thing becouse the valves were bad as well after all these years. Now it's in good condition and ready to go to the show.
I did not replace the head studs exept for one, they were all good.

yes i will have to carefully check mine to make sure the threads have not pulled. fantastic job though...I take it that engine is the 221 unit? 85hp

24 stud, could be either,221 or 239 .....Paul, What are those liners made of?

paul visser · #8 09-09-10, 08:53

Don't realy know what they are made of. But it's done in the '50 (they are not thik) looks like a cilinder sleeve.

Does any one know if there are diverend flywheels for the V8 flathead '32 up to '48. My '37 flywheel does not fit in the bellhousing of the block.
