Flathead V8 sought
Hello Everyone,
I am new to the CMP world in the sense that I finally have the time and space to undertake a project. I have found a really nice F15A KL model which I am currently negotiating to buy. It is almost complete and is an easy restoration by the look of it (if there really is such a thing), but is missing the V8 and rad. Does anyone have wartime engine for sale? I am in Alberta, so something located close at hand would be best for me. Does anyone know if the rad and engine out a 1940's civvy grain truck will bolt right in? Thanks, Geoff

Engines
Hi Geoff
The engine and radiator from a similar era Ford truck will probably fit OK - the engine almost certainly will - even the 49-54 8BA will fit but it's not the best option, partly because of throttle linkage incompatibilities due to the repositioning of the distributor, but any sidevalve V8 with a crab type distributor should be OK. Many Ford CMPs here have radiators from other Ford trucks.
