How about 337 connected to a CMP
Hi Guys
Putting a 337 in any CMP would be a challenge it weighs just short of 1000 lbs with the transmission. Was used in the BIG Ford trucks and Lincoln 1949-1952. I've got two of these engines hence the CMP WS49 Lincoln 12-03-12 002.jpg I was moving one of them from garage to shop. Cheers Phil

Back to the orginal F15A Steering Knuckles
Hi All
I wonder if there were not a lot of unintended interchange of parts. The guys in a REME repair shop have a dead Ford and a pile of Chevy parts taking the attitude if it fits it works. For example the replacement of Chevy engines with Ford engines in North Africa has often been referred to, reason the guys running the rebuild facilities were Ford guys and had Ford parts, they worked with what they knew and had. Cheers Phil PS Dave I was expecting somebody to comment on Chevy with an outboard Ford glad you enjoyed.

Commonality of parts was fairly important at the time.
yeah, couldn't resist.

Ford in the war years..
On a more serious note.. the discussion about Ford & Chev interchangibility, and support by Ford & Chev during the war years is an interesting one. ( though I never heard of putting a Ford v8 in to replace a 216??details??)
Phil you might vaguely remember one of the participants in Bill Greggs CMP seminar was a guy named Kuno Stockelbach who travelled as the Ford rep through north Africa and the middle east during the war. There was clearly much more than simply military support re transport but I don't know to what extent. Do you have any memory of the specifics 32 years later?? AND on some other thread there was discussion about a surviving audio or audio/video tape of the CMP event. Anybody know what ever happened with respect to that effort?? ..BP
