Adrian Barrell Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 I'm looking for a flathead V8 for a carrier project. Ideally nice and free turning. Not too concerned with exact model but must be integral bell housing and ideally from a carrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fire ball red Posted December 7, 2022 Share Posted December 7, 2022 You could try Belcher Engineering at Rickinghall, they might have one although its more likely to have come from a car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Barrell Posted December 7, 2022 Author Share Posted December 7, 2022 Hi Gaggs, thank you. Location possibly makes it a killer, unless I can find someone sending a container over! I'll pm you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally, a carrier engine, then that would give the extra oilway port and double pulleys but I might not get a choice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 There’s what appears to be a military Ford Flat head V8 on Facebook market place. Looks very rough but may have some useful parts for £200. Tried to screen shot the page but FB just crashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrian Barrell Posted January 2, 2023 Author Share Posted January 2, 2023 Thanks Chris, saw that, it's really only good for the odd part, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
