Rode shotgun to get some flattie parts..

 Glenn needed some parts to finish the flathead going in his 34 coupe...thanks to mister knows everyone, Steve Coade put us in touch with Phil Mower at Yandina, who has a mountain of Ford parts in his collection..He had the parts needed, he builds all types of engines for people, but specializes in Henrys flattie 4s and 8s.......he has quite a few good runners available..
 the pics show the extent of the parts, both big or small

 39/40 style engine
 rare big cube Mercury..
 heads awaiting jobs..
 literally...panning in gold up there/
 more aluminum
 Model B with non counterweight crank..rare counterweight crank next to it..
 Model B....no side tube like the A motors...
 I didn't know this..but Phil tells me the flathead 4s were used up until about 1937 in some trucks


 lots of NOS parts...
 rare parts indeed!


You can call Phil on 0412-595 120, he is located up Yandina way, about 10km north of Nambour
 While up that way, called in to see Craig Fischer at his new-ish 'Vintage Metal Works" shop..
A tub is his own project...location is 5/39 Central Park Drive, Yandina Qld., 0467 285971
