Flat head V8
Hello to all, I hope this year is starting off good for each of you. As I have stated in my welcome thread I had a little surgery and am layed up recovering and getting better each day. Sitting around I got to wondering if there is an old Ford flathead V8 laying around somewhere someone wants to get rid of? Since I can't work right now my income is limited but if you know of anyone who has one laying around and they want it hauled off for little or nothing I would really like to have one to tinker with as I recuperate. Thank you in advance for information and suggestions.

I've got one at the shop laying out under a tarp. I believe it was frozen up when it was pulled from the car(a '41 Business Coupe), but I really don't remember. I'm sorta planning to put in a few hours today. If I get down there, I'll check it out and see how bad it really is. If not, I'll check it out Monday.
Wouldn't want to buy a '41 Business Coupe street rod project, would you?

Not that I've got room/time/money for another one...but what shape is the car in? I keep hoping I'll win the PowerBall one of these days so I can build a shop for the projects....but I keep coming up empty handed.

I've got all the stock parts(until I sell the flathead, that is). Front axle and wishbone, rear axle and wishbone. No mods have been made to the frame yet(I think).
Guy was wanting $8k like it sits.
To the OP, flathead is locked up tight. Call me at Vince's Vintage Vehicles 501-723-4080. Ask for Wally

So wrong, in so many ways. I don't care how cheap they are...or the parts; but GM parts should never been in a Ford.
The car sounds like it would be a neat project, and something nice to go cruise town with. But like I said, I don't have the time/money/space for another project. I haven't even started on my Ranchero and it's odd enough that it's worth the effort.

This '41 was just supposed to be an inexpensive driver. He alreay had a '50 Buick that we did back original. I heard that's gone now, too.
If I had to look for a car right now it'd be around a '63-'64 Lincoln with the suicide back doors. It would end up powder blue with a dark blue vinyl top and dark blue leather interior.
I drove my dad's for a whole month one time when I was on leave from the AF. Fell in love with that car.

Maybe I should have been clearer. When I say "Hemi", I'm not talking about some over-engineered, fly-by-wire, politically correct, wimpy motor.
When I say "Hemi", I mean 426 cubic inches of pure, raw, American hot rod horsepower. A motor that bellows smoke, fumes and enough noise to wake the neighbors a block away.
With that motor, they don't have to ask,"Hey, has that got a Hemi in it?" The ground shaking under the car answers the question for them.
Alright, I'll quit now.
