flathead question
i just seen an old colored fellow on the side of the road and an engine block and transmission had fallen out of his truck...so i stop to help him get it back in his truck...he was on his way to sell it for scrap...it was a flathead and it was huge...transmission was huge as well...but the head bolts only went around the head no bolts in the middle of the head...there was no intake on it or i would have brought it home but both engine and transmission looked as if it had been inside somewhere...any ideas what it was...he didn't know...and it wasn't exactly the neighborhood for me to hang around and take pictures...i do know the scrap yard though..."Behold, what manner of love the father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called sons of God." 1John3:1

Unless your calendar reads about 60 years ago, no.
I bet you are gonna be REAL thrilled when you see who's running the country after Nov 4th. 
I know I will be.

I understand, I was just pullin' your leg a little. I was at work late and after 15 hours of being there I was a little rough around the edges. Sorry.
As for your engine, I have no idea what that might be. The bolts around the perimeter are kinda strange. Can you post up any pictures?

Actually for a southerner I thought cnile64 was being very gracious.
I don't like either one of them, so voting for one is as bad as voting for the other. Neither one has a clue as to how to fix the ills of this country, and if they do get fixed it will be blind luck.
