46 ford

i have a 46 ford flathead 8 thats setup i' m going to pull and rebuilt any good place's for motor parts ?

 

My first stop would be Joblot Automotive in Queens Village NY...they have professional and knowledgable staff. Order their catalog online. Patricks is also good. Don't forget Speedway either.

thanks, i was hoping to free it up but i'v tried everything i can think of and it's still stuck

 

You know my engine was wanting to stick for a while. We even broke a wrench trying to get it to turn. We tapped for a while on the pistons and shot a bunch of PB blaster into the cyls. Now it spins freely. Now mine was a motor that appeared to be recently rebuilt....but it sat for a bit. I would keep tapping and get a big pipe wrench....put it on the area behind the hex bolt on the end(closer to the block) So acutally on the pulley portion. The teeth on the wrench will grab....Take the heads off and douse the valves and tap them too. Free up anything that could drag on the motor.
