Well..after some unforeseen circumstances last week I'm going to have to give up on my shorty project and get to work. I just can't spend any more time or money on her right now. According to the serial # and code (1903) it's a '51 model. I have not got it started yet but shouldn't take much. I have just installed the following:
Remanufactured starter
New alternator
New belt
All new hoses
New fuel bowl assy with fuel line and inline filter
Fresh oil and new filter
New K&N air filter
Thermostat and gasket
New battery and cables It cranks over really well. It is not frozen. the engine is a F162. The engine shows no signs of leaking at all. What you see in the pics is water from a rain this morning.
It sits on a trailer (with bad tires) that would bring good money at the scrap yard or make a fine boat anchor for you fishermen. $950
