Bought this 1937 rebuilt flathead a while back and has been in my shop for awhile now .I stumbled upon a set of aluminium heads (OEM) for it and notice the heads and water pumps are different ?? The rear of the heads have plugs in them also the waterpumps have plugs and grease nipples What are they ??
That's what I thought as well ,but not all 37 heads and pumps have them. Ford special order ??? Thought maybe boat ??
It has the lower water pump covers on the front of the block ,guess it doesn't mean the heads aren't 34-36 was rebuilt by a ford approved shop and never used ...
Could have been for industrial use. I have seen the early head- later block setup before. "Ford authorized" rebuilders did this a lot I'm told. I even have some iron early style "replacement" heads dated 1947
