Took some time off work to do the paint job. If you care to take a look, I have a few new pictures of the painted truck I posted yesterday. Here is the address to my website. Paul's 1952 Ford Truck Page http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://hometown.aol.com/pwptruck1/page1.htm Paul 52 F-3 ------------------------------ From: "Terry" Subject: Re: 240 0r 300 CID Date: Mon, 3 Jul 2000 22:25:32 -0500 It is highly unlikely that you have a 240. It was used in the 60's. Look on the casting # on the block. If it is a "D" or "E" then it will be a 300. Of course someone could have put a 240 crank in a 300 block.................. I bought an 83 F100 to use the chassis for my 48 cab. The 83 has a 6 cylinder that I am trying to figure out if it is a 240 or a 300 CID ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 23:34:58 -0400 From: Ken Payne Subject: ADMIN: Web site updates The Picture Gallery on the web site has been updated.

Date: Mon, 03 Jul 2000 10:10:07 EDT I'm going to start a new project here this winter with a 41 1/2 ton. I'm going to go flathead and have nothing to work with now so my question is what year flathead was the best,what numbers would I look for to find this year and what is the average going price. I'm going to hotrod it up somewhat if this makes a difference. >> Answer: It's pretty hard to beat the 1948 59AB Flathead. They look great with offy's and 3 97's. (of course after we were done getting everything we could get out of them, we would drop an Olds OHV or Hemi or Chevy small block in and make it go really fast.)

Any thoughts or comments would be helpful. Thank you very much. You can se it at my Web Page. http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://kdmarty.home.mindspring.com Kenneth 55 F100 Denver CO. ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Jul 2000 09:52:16 -0400 From: The Neighbors Subject: Re: Starting an engine that has been sitting Glenn, pull the plugs and squirt a little oil (some use diesel) on top of the cylinders, then rotate the engine by hand a few revolutions, if that's possible. If you can't do it that way, pull the coil wire and turn it with the starter a few revs. The idea is to gently turn the engine ovver and get some lubrication on the cylinder walls before starting it. Some people will take the distributor out and turn the oil pump with some sort of adaptor chucked into a drill. I've never done that myself, but it seems like a good idea. Otherwise, once you're satisfied everything has been lubricated somewhat, prime the carb, crank it over and stand back! -- Don Neighbors '54 F250 Named Grover "Any dropped tool or part will automatically fall into the most innaccesible part of the vehicle." grover ford-trucks.com------------------------------ Date: Tue, 04 Jul 2000 10:16:24 -0400 From: The Neighbors Subject: Good Price?
