I cruise those roads out that way several times a year looking for tin, ya gotta be careful tho, some of the locals can get a bit upset.
A few years back before I retired I was crusin the area searchin the fields and woodlines with my Bi-Nocs, the few folks that saw me were downright hostile, couldn't figure out what was wrong until I stopped at the "Stop&Rob" in Albion, Folks inside were all stareing at me as if I was one of those aliens. Thats when I noticed that I had forgot to remove the "Kojak" from the roof after a late night run.

Well I took all of the parts that I had for the 48 ford truck to the scrap yard the other day. Not what I wanted to do but I couldn't find anybody to buy them. I couldn't even give them away so off they went.

48-53 flathead SIX 254 cu in, M series engine (not H or G series)
I want to purchase a complete flat head motor, 254, "8MTH" series, 48-53, F6 or bus engine. The 7H engine is a 226-wrong one! The M series ID should be on the head and the driver's side of the block down low by the motor mount. Some of these engines were used on industrial water pumps for irrigation, but mostly in F6 trucks, COE, an option to the V8. It had a 2-pc oil pan (deep sump), with the bottom pan turned 90 degrees to the engine block and stuck out about 6 inches on each side of the engine. Any lead appreciated. Any one on here have experience with building a street-strip engine with one of these?
THANKS, John
