Flat Head ID Help
Hello all.
I am usually hiding in the E-series forums and have owned a few Y-blocks, Windsors and Mods.
Now I have an opportunity to pick up some flat heads from an estate sale and I have no idea what they are. Can you help from the pics?
Thanks for your help in advance.

The first engine may not be a 59A (1946-1948) motor. In the picture I cannot see a 59 cast into the bell housing. The radiator it is attached to looks like a 1938-1939 pickup / truck radiator. The generator mount fan is definitely 1939 or older, but the transmission is 1940 or newer. For a definite identification on the first motor look here: http://www.goldengatev8.org/tips/Evo...heFlathead.pdf
Also, DO NOT put the earlier motor on a modern engine stand supported by the bell housing. The 8BA is fine, but I have seen several earlier motors with the bell housing broken off from using incorrect engine stands.
