FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

You also CANNOT use a 94 type carb on that manifold W/O blocking off that hole in the mount inbetween the 2 front studs. You will cook the power valve in a ford or holley type carb. The manifold was really made for a 37 to early 38 engine. Hole wont bother a Stromberg as that's what it was made for. ken ct.

I have a cast iron intake as well as a 40 gas tank if you need either or both.

Thanks for the info. The truck belonged to my father-in-law. He was a dirt poor farmer and had little money. I am sure he bought the truck at a farm sale and he had 4 sons that drove the truck hard. You should have seen the many welds, fenders bed, tailgate, bumpers, etc. as they say, "it was drove hard and put up wet". Or was that horses? I am going to fix it up for my grandson who is 13. It will not be a show truck. Will probably put in a modern drive train, though as a purest restorer, it hurts. My wife's dad also had a 42 Tudor that I have restored. It will not leave the family.

Thanks to your additional posted photographs, I can n0w tell you this much... that's a 1941 block for certain. The heads I believe are from a large (one ton & bigger) truck, circa 1941. The intake is '38 - '39.

To have an engine "built" this way is more typical than not. One must remember that these vehicles had little to nearly no value from the early 50's up through the late 60's and subsequently were repaired with whatever was available on the cheap. Even through the early 70's these vehicles saw little increase in value. Thus, even then, they were often repaired the same (on the cheap) way.

Please, don't be discouraged... this is typical and easy to restore properly. Or, if you should so decide, fix what ya got

A photo from the side of the block - depicting a cylinder head. A photo of the area just above the timing gear cover. Both would help.

Distributors can be swapped between the years. An early distributor (37 - 41) can be installed on a 42 - 48 with a small adapter "button" to in effect lengthen the camshaft of the later engines.
Installing a later distributor (42-48) on an earlier engine (37 -41) requires an adapter plate that moves the distributor outward perhaps 3/8" or so.
Judging by the distributor caps in your photo, no doubt the correct, to 1941, distributor was being utilized at "last run".

I looked at your engine photo once again - very carefully, and think perhaps it may very well be the '41 engine. Maybe even the one authentic to that truck. Regardless, the manifold could have easily ben swapped through the years. The only "modification" truly necessary would have been a shorter (by 1") fuel pump push rod.
