History 1939 Ford Deluxe Coupe

The best way to solve the problem is sell the car to me.

 

Do the Olds and we won't ban you from our little party ! LOL.

 

Nostalgia All The Way... Leave the Flattie !!!

Although I may be considered by some to be bias !!!

 

By all means, leave the flathead in, they are awesome old motors, RT

 

You have the Olds engine and mounts sitting next to the car. I think you've already made up your mind.

 

Personally the Olds but it's more about the story. I bought a '39 Deluxe with an Olds with 3-2s in about '62 for $350. I pulled it for a SBC. I sold the car but it ended up as a "dirt track" car so it won't be found. I wish I had your luck!

 

.....make your own history with the car

 

Is that Olds in yet?

 

Go with the Olds! I'm looking to put an Olds in a '39 Standard. Are there any threads/stories of people putting an Olds into a '39 Standard? I'm interested in see what they did with the radiator.

 

Keep with the Olds 303 no disrespect to the Flatty

 

i put a 303 olds in my 46 merc 39 trans about 7 years ago, i used hurst motor mounts and offy trans adaptor,mini stater from ross racing,runs like a top and dont miss the flathead...

 

I vote for what makes you happy.

I'd like to throw in that is one beautiful, shiny black Coupe!

 

Thank you for your service sir.

I had a 1947 Coupe in high school as well. I managed to keep it and finally got through with it in 2018. Thought about the 303 Olds but went with a L3 and automatic. Still have the old motor, mounts adapter 1950 pickup trans with open driveshaft etc but in the end went with current engine. Everytime I look at it I wonder what it would be like if I had kept the old motor. Sure had fun in high school when my buddies had flatheads.

 

go with the Oldsmobile because that is the history of your car.
