under the hood of my truck (for the past 32 "+" years) is a Souped Up, Full House, Mercury Flathead !

NEVER support an early style flathead by bolting the cast iron bell housing to an engine stand. It's an accident waiting to happen. https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=276451&showall=1
