I was looking for something to do when work was slow last year, so I decided to rebuild a flathead. I found it under a tree with one frozen head. After tearing it down and a little research, I found that it is a 1947 Mercury 59ab block with later crank, rods, cam and pistons in it. Anyway, it was an interesting project that gave me something to do. Just finished and running great on an engine test stand we built out of an old pickup front end. The motor will go into a 1952 F-1 pickup.
