Hot Rods 1950 Lincoln flattie 337

asrf

 

This motor was used in Lincoln Cars and Large Ford Trucks up until 1951. I believe that it does not share any components with the smaller Ford and Mercury Flatheads. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

1951 Motor Manual lists the following Specs.

Bore: 3.500"
Stroke: 4.375"
Compression Ratio: 7.0:1
Hp: 152 @ 3600 RPM
Torque: 265 @ 2000 RPM

There are rebuild kits out there, but very little after market or speed parts.

 

you are very correct, ive checked all that out but i dont want to run with a flattie, i just to flip the motor, cant afford to rebuild it.

 

I should have read your post more carefully, Sorry for the extra stuff.

I have no idea what those heads or the motor would be worth, but a set has got to be rare. The only manufacturers of aftermarket heads for those motors that I am aware of was Edmunds and Edelbrock.

What are you thinking of running in the 337's place?

 

anything with overhead cam, im thinking nailhead or possibly hemi, i have access to either one

 

The heads are worth somwhere around a grand-to the guy who needs them. Edelbrocks seem to be rarer then Edmunds. I believe they were the better of the two as well-quality wise. I've got about $1200 in my Edmunds heads AND manifold and that's been several years ago. If you weren't so far away (read: freight $) and the fact that I've got SEVERAL $ invested in rebuilding my engine (which, of course I'm goin to bolt on my precsious Edmunds parts) I'd be a candidate for your flip job. There have been many posts here on the H.A.M.B. about these engines and cars using them.

 

I wonder where fillmore is?

 

That was my thought. I could use another 337. (just need the right car to put it in, lol)
