    I am looking for info on these three flathead's for a friend. Any info would be helpful. I have no pictures a this time....thanks

    [FONT=&quot] 1<sup>st</sup> Motor – Head number 59A-B1948 - BELL HOUSING #d236-59d. This engine has a transmission with a tower floor shift – may be from a truck[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]2<sup>nd</sup> Motor – Head number #8RTNJ292 UNDER THAT NUMBER IS A K221. This also has a transmission attached with large tower, also may be from a truck.[/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
    [FONT=&quot]3<sup>rd</sup> Motor – Head number 40-6049-8 no transmission but has aluminum heads with water pumps attached to the heads but above where normal water pumps on a flathead should be. I’m thinking they may be from a boat.[/FONT]
