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!)

Joblot Automotive is in New York and the shipping costs would be less than one on the West Coast.

Here is a link to another East Coast supplier

Thanks.

I have another question.
Can you recommend me some e-shop, where I can buy components for this motor?

The engine block in the photo is a 39 - 40 239 cubic inch block. The round hole in the center was only used in these blocks. It is also a factory relieved block used in the big trucks. Trucks used this engine in 41 also.

The number shown in your photograph is a casting code, used only by the factory.

Thanks for reaction.

Engine was allready running, now I do general repair..
I was confused with diferent number of holes( block x distributior )
Bore 3 3/16" doesnt look like re-bored.
On block I found only this number: 659A.
Is this number usable for identification?

Have a nice day Ondrej Rynes

Hello Ondrej Rynes,

When you put this together be careful that the raised area fits into the end of the crankshaft. The raised area of the distributor driveshaft is not in the center of the shaft, it is offset to one side. People have broken the distributor housing mounting tabs or ears by tightening the distributor when the raised area is not seated in the crankshaft correctly. I hope this makes sense!

Look carefully at the photo you posted of the distributor you can see the raised area is not in the center. Also in the first picture you can see the slot is not in the center.

The engine block appears to be a Ford 81A, but it could be a Mercury 99A. 1938-40 style 81A, does not have the raised surface under the intake manifold, neither do some of the 99A blocks. The 81A blocks were 3 1/16 bore so yours could have re-bored sometime, or The 99A were 3 3/16. Many of the 99A blocks have "99" numbers stamped into the front intake manifold surface, near the front of the block.
The 37-41 distributor is proper for either engine block. These distributors do have 4 holes but only three were used for mounting. Looks like you have parts that will work together, but may not be exactly what came with the car from the factory.
Your English is dobro!
