OT'S 47-51 ??? Rebuild ??
the old trucker:
This is my last time trying this !!!!
I think I wore myself out !! I'm having a hard time getting this on here. The first three pics show some difference. On the left is after wire brushing & the right is before. I have this side just about finished. I plan to do the top pan & base pan last, when I put new gaskets in place. Then paint.

In this pic above, I think you'll see the old long oil filter. It's just out past the mount. I have a short one to go back. Same as Orin's.
Below you'll see a lot cleaner manifold.

Grfishmaker, is your transmission the same as this one ?? If it is, the first pic shows the position of low gear & the next pic shows park. The bracket that looks like an upside down u is the kick down rod, for when you tramp her to the floor. Looks pretty simple to hook it up the right way like it should be.

O.T.
After seeing all the nice painted motors one here and you cleaning your getting it ready to paint, i'm kind of embarrassed with my dirty old ford, may have to clean it too. lol
the old trucker:
One thing about having a clean motor is you'll see the leaks if any. Plus it can operate better & help maintain proper engine temperature. I used Spray Nine & a couple cans of GUNK & lots of water. To my surprise after every time after I soaked her with the water, (I mean everywhere) she never failed to start. Let her run for a few minutes to dry off & look at your progress. Orin one thing about me is I have lots of time.
from a squeaky clean OT.
the old trucker:
Today I got most everything taken off the engine. Everything inside is black with old oil. Make no wonder it leaked oil, the gaskets were that old they plumed up & dried up hard as a rock. I have new parts ordered. I hope to have paint on next week. I have a table full of nuts & bolts & alot of parts. Hope I don't have any left over !!
I'm having trouble getting my pics onto the computer.
grfishmaker:
