OK I stole the title from an old David Allen Coe song, But this old made from parts engine purrs like a kitten. At first it was really loud, but I found some mufflers out in the junk pile. So much quieter now and it almost runs silent. I ground and lapped the valves and adjusted them no less than 4 times because I wanted one of those flatheads that didn't look like it was running. In the spring it will be going in a tonner PU project (after the woodie is done)

 

looks like a good time!!!

 

I really like your signature. Gives me a good cold chill about my ex wife. It can get better, my new wife helped me clean my shop today.

 

Yep, that is country! Nice work.

 

Does she have a sister? LOL Spare parts is far better than buying them.

That said if my Cylinder heads have Made in Canada on them does it mean it is a mercury motor?

 

as long at it was when you were home, and not a free stuff ad on craigslist when you were at work its ok.

 

No video? We love the flathead purr as you well know.

 

I already called dibs

 

looking nice gary!
gary maybe you can help me with my motor. the pcv kind of thing thats on the oïl pan. its missing all i have is a round hole in the front right side of oïl pan. should i worry about it ! leave it as is or maybe some kind of pipe or breather!
catimann i got made in canada on my heads to. my trucks a ford,but maybe not original!!! on my bellhousing its stamp C69A .

 

Ok that is interesting. Where do we look for the engine Part no or S/N on the motor?

 

[QUOTE=catimann;17725985]Does she have a sister? LOL

Remember that GB's wife is a welder in addition to being a shop cleaning assistant so make sure the sister is too!

 

Looks good Gary! You will have to put a video up so we can hear this whisper mode

 

I usually need a technical assistant, so I'll get my son to shoot a video. And Bernette, I don't know about a hole in the pan. I think mine have a triangular stamped steel thing up front as a breather. Maybe someone can school us on what's up.

 

what ever was there gary is gone! i remember seeing pictures of it here. i will post a picture soon.

 

Gary that is just cool.
