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.

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!)

Would appreciate your thoughts here - I just pulled from an my original 35 Ford Coupe a 21 stud Ford Flathead motor complete from air cleaner to oil pan that was re-manufactured and installed in the late 70's - has a re-manufactured tag and number on it. It appears to have only a few hundred miles of use before it was properly stored. It runs perfectly and even the clutch and pressure plate are as new (marked re-manufactured as well). It has cast heads with original starter, gen, fan, carb, exhaust manifolds etc. I want to sell it but am uncertain as to what the value might be. I am familiar with willing seller/will buyer etc. Any thoughts on a range of value is appreciated

Peter,
First question is, Why was it removed from the 35 ford if it was such a good engine?
If you're making a street rod or using a later engine I hope you made recordings both video and audio of this motor running and driving. otherwise there is is a $400-$500 chance for the buyer, that he's buying somebody eles's problems.
I think if you had found a buyer before you pulled it, you could double those figures or more.
My spare engine sits in waiting for that dreaded ay that one of my cars might need it. I drove the car it came out off before I bought it. As the clock ticks by
the value of that engine is going down too.

Removed the engine this week to make way for a high performance flathead and added a Columbia 2speed so I could enjoy driving the car more. I will most probably will just store the subject engine as a spare but the likelihood of it going back in is .01% under my watch. Was just trying to weigh the current / future value to determine whether to hold or sell.

I would keep the engine,just prepare it for storage,it does not take much room, and maybe one day you will sell the car an can give the new owner options in the purchase.and every day there are less and less orginal engines to be bought,
also check if it is the original engine that came with the car,

37 Ragtop Man,
What should be done for long term storage of these engines? I've always wondered if having the babbitt
sit still for years hurt it or anthing else.
Anybody have suggestions to properly pickel a V8?

put fresh oil in the pan, oil the cylinders, and turn over once a month or so,and keep covered. and out of moisture,
not in a damp basement or garage,maybe put in a few large garbage bags, and seal from the top with a string,so you can get to the crankshaft nut to turn over the engine,maybe even on a home made wooden engine stand,made out of 2x8s, just high enough so the pan does not hit the ground,and you can get at the nut to turn it over,
I am sure a few other will weigh in with more suggestions,

Are you near Texas? We might make a deal. I know of a 36 coupe that could use this.

I have a 35 Ford panel truck that I need an engine for. Would be interested in your engine if you decide on a price. Where are you located?
