The engine is an early one. Before 1937 being 21 stud with aluminium heads and the pumps in the heads. It may well be 1935/36 by the looks of it.

Regards Rick.

20" rims and 134" wheelbase suggest F60S rather than F30 to me but Australian production could be different than Canadian.
As an aside, for Canadian Chevrolets (not what we are talking about here) there was a service bulletin detailing the work/parts required to upgrade from C30 to C60S.

Default V8

I came across this video of the invention of the Ford V8 engine.

The water pumps are on the heads

While I am catching up
I have managed to get a Front left hub and axle, rear right hub, a rough radiator, maybe a transfer case,

No steering wheel, rear axles or drive shafts yet
Might need to repair that rim
