![]() Steve I just wanted to tell you yes the bosses in the block are tapped, so I think I will probably make some. "NOV 16 Engine production records, Ford Archivesġ00% of production now used the support straps at the rear of the engine block."īy jay fredrickson on Wednesday, Octo02:21 pm: The encyclopedia says the straps were introduced in november 1925: My jengine = made after all production switched over to the improved style at #12,218,728 has tapped holes and came with all the improved characteristics but not the support straps to the pan arms. Perhaps it has the boss on the engine undrilled, haven't seen any pictures of that area. It has the wide pedals but the old style hogshead and narrow brake drum in the trans: Steve, interesting - have you seen an engine with the boss on the rear without holes? Did it have a 1919-25 type hogshead without fastening holes to the block? Did you note the number of the engine?Ĭraig Anderson has a Fordor made in july 1925(#12,210,xxx). I had a real late '25 block once that had the boss, but no holes, and it was a pre '26 engine number too.īy Roger Karlsson, southern Sweden on Wednesday, Octo10:05 am: Looks like the ones in Steves picture got pretty bent up. Some very, very early '26 blocks had untapped bossesīy Larry Smith on Wednesday, Octo09:47 am: If the bosses on the back of the block are tapped those brackets should be fitted. Old ones are often seen at eBay and repros are available from the vendors, but before paying $29.50 I'd try make them myself first īy steve miller- mississauga,ontario on Wednesday, Octo09:33 am: ![]() Ford dropped the wood blocks in the frame of the TT trucks when they got brackets so I think you can drop the blocks from a car too if you install them. They help reduce side movement in the pan arms and may reduce the risk for breaking. Kevin, the brackets weren't introduced until 1926 production had ran for some months, so perhaps your car was one of the last without them? I suspect that's a part that often gets lost, like engine pans and radiator aprons.īy Roger Karlsson, southern Sweden on Wednesday, Octo04:21 am: I traced my engine number back too early December 1925, but it is clear y a 26-27 style engine and transmission.īy Steve Jelf, Parkerfield KS on Tuesday, Octo06:03 pm: ![]() By the look of the grime on the dustguards, they hadn't been touched. Were those things commonly removed or not? My '26 Tudor had the dustguards in it but not those supports. Many years ago, when my friends and I used to go to junkyards (auto recycling centers) for Mopar parts, I always sought out the greasiest, crusted parts I could find, they were always the best preserved once the crust was cleaned off.īy Kevin Whelihan on Tuesday, Octo05:38 pm: That dust is just icing on the cake - there's probably 90 years of crusty, greasy preservative under that dust. You need to get the maid in there.that motor's pretty dusty.īy Mark Strange on Tuesday, Octo05:11 pm: If they are from the crank case arm bolts to the bolts that hold the hogshead to the back of the block, then they are something that the '26's & '27's did have when they left the factory.īy Steve Jelf, Parkerfield KS on Tuesday, Octo02:23 pm:īy Larry Bohlen, Severn MD on Tuesday, Octo04:56 pm: i haven't seen one before.īy Adam Doleshal on Tuesday, Octo01:24 pm: I am rebuilding my 27 touring, i was looking at a 26 truck last week that a guy is rebuilding and he has two brackets coming from the frame to the hog head, one on each side, is this something that is just made up or is this a standard part.
