The engine is a ’41 99T with the original number stamped on the intake deck. This is a pre 59 series 239/95 hp block found in trucks and Mercury cars and is easily identified by the raised intake deck. It was rebuilt in a local trucking company machine shop in March of ’68 and sat till I got it in ’03. It’s bored .020 with standard mains and 0.10 rods. It’s stock right down to the Ford script ignition points and condenser on the factory authorized rebuilt distributor. Carb is a later ’46/’48 model 59 Holley 94 with a an internal float bowl vent. Generator has been converted to 12V. Transmission was built with an NOS case using as many new internals as could found, including a NOS cluster gear, bearings, syncros, etc. Rear end is a late ’40s with new 3:54 ring and pinion, bearings and seals. Brakes are also new riveted linings and new wheel bearings and are ’46/’48 self centering type. Wheels are original Ford solids. 16×5 rear and 16X4 front. Coker Firestones are new with only a few hundred miles on them. 7:00X16 rear and 5:00/5:25X16 front. They’re true and balanced and the car runs down the road very well. The car sits on the original frame with the original number stamped in the factory location under the drivers side cowl (it IS visible with the floor boards removed). Grille and shell are original ’32 and the radiator is a Walker. The engine runs around 165 to 170. One of very few concessions to modern times is an electric fan but it rarely comes on. It’s wired to come on automatically at 190 degrees but I also added a manual on/off switch using the ’36 Ford ignition/column lock that I grafted onto the model A column drop.
