Painless? Stock 239 Flathead with the T9 4 speed manual... Maybe a T87...

Hello F2UK, greetings from Maine - almost directly across the pond from you.

We will need some more details of what your situation is, to be able to provide some suggestions. And it all depends how close to a divorce you are now.
Are you looking for an automatic or a standard? Do you have engine displacement limitations to avoid the hefty road tax or petrol costs over there? Do you have fabrication skills handy to make a different type of motor and transmission fit? Is cost and parts availability an issue? I think I kind of know the answer to that last question.
But if you can give us some more info, the guys here will have some wisdom and knowledge to share.
Tom

Ive got a couple 49 to 53 flathead v8 engines that are rebuilt. They have car oil pans on them but could be swapped out for a truck pan.

Hey F2UK
Where are you in the U.K.?
I can honestly say I haven't seen your beautiful truck driving
around Hampstead this week. Do you just want a more modern
engine/trans?
