History FLATHEAD Rear Center section === LARGER than normal

Flathead V8 stuff is new to me, is this a truck item or late production car? Back tomorrow with a gear count, pinion is much larger than most.

 

That is most likely a Lincoln center section.

 

Thank you! I'll see if the Ford trumpets match.

 

Is it my eyes, a trick of the angle of the photo or is that ring and pinion off center, i.e. hypoid?

 

Yes Lincoln. Extra bolt holes for sure, I never even attempted to see if the Ford housings bolted up.

 

I'll post photos later today. Bob

 

Bolt holes all line up, you would have to drill and tap the one that isn't. Can you tell what year that trumpet is?

I think it’s a 46-47, but can’t guarantee from that angle.

 

Length determines the years from '39-'48. What is the overall length of the bell?

 

What is the width of the housing?
