I went to see a friend today and after a few hours of looking at old engines and talking we did a deal and I have bought all his Ford flathead V8 engines. I plan to build one good one from the three to power a 1930's New Zealand built wooden barrel back, V stern speedboat I have to restore. I would love some help getting the engines years and types nailed down. 1. "the car engine" Pulled from a twin spinner car. Number "RE2 92" stamped on block face.... 24 bolt. Has on 8BA cast on one head and EAC on the other. (head swaped for Merc head??) Made in Canada. Side dizzi. 2. "the truck engine" Pulled from a bus. Number "RE2 71" stamped on block, both heads have 8RT on them, so truck? Made in Canada. Side dizzi. 3. "Rust ball engine" 24 stud, water outlet in middle of heads, front dizzi mount. Built in bell housing. Only good for parts if I am lucky. Seriously rusty. Any clues there? I was figuring 1952 for 1 and 2?? Regards Gavin New Zealand

#3 engine would be pre 48 I believe the water inlet in the center was after 42. the bell housing cast in the block was done until the end of 47. If the distributor is behind the fan and is round (not crab style it would be 42 to 47. Hope this helps try looking it up on Ford Barn or Vanpelts
