Interesting stash of flatheads. Watching your videos is giving me inspiration to build a 30-31 Roadster with both Bill Niekamp and Dick Flint styling cues. Living in Central FL does not present many fabricators with your talent. Keep up the great work in both areas: fabrication and spreading the traditional Hot Rod word via videos!
Awesome video Matt. It's always nice to be able to help these older guys pass on their stuff while gathering the stories along the way. I just picked up two 1937 short blocks this past weekend at our club swap meet. The '37-mid '38 engines were still 21 stud, but had the insert main bearings. This made them popular for '32-'36 replacements as you could use the early heads with the later block and those block off plates and lower water outlets. I bought out an older gentleman's collection up here and was able to get a pair of those lower outlets/mounts in the stash. The pair of engines I bought will need a rebuild, but they are scarce so I grabbed them. I also like that '80-'86 step side F150 in the background!
And another very simple way to tell if its a new to older flattie is too look where the water jackets are at going into the heads. Mid or front of the block is a quick way to tell also.
Last summer I went to an estate auction of A wrench that kicked the bucket. He had A shop in his backyard for about 60 year's. Tons of engine's and tranny's most from the 60's and 70's but their was one flattie from 1932 that caught my eye. It was stored in A building and the guy's kid (Who was about 60!) said it was rebuilt in the early 50's and never installed in any vehicle. No intake manifold and the mice had made A home in it but the bidding was very light. The only guy's interested were A couple of scrappers and it looked like it might bring 25 bucks so I said 50 just to scare them off! It worked! I'm still on the hunt for an intake manifold and I am cleaning up the mouse next and droppings. If it runs I'm going to put it in A Ford 8n tractor! If not ( cracked block of other major damage) I'm making A coffee table out of it. An old friend of mine has had many vehicles with flatties in them over the year's including A '35 Ford 3 window, A 51' Ford Coupe, A '52 Mercury Coupe and A '54 Ford 1.5 ton. All ran great!
Ha ha! In 1963 I was 16 yrs old, and bought my first car. It was a 1953 ford 2 door sedan with a flathead, 3 speed with overdrive. It was a dog for those days, but my dad had raced them when he was younger. Soon my little hot rod was sporting a set of offenhauser heads and water pumps. A 3/4 cam, 3 deuces with progressive linkage, and a 4 speed that my dad hand built from a truck transmission and parts from the 3 speed. Lowered, crusin skirts and wide whites, painted bright blue.loved that car. My brother wrecked it while I was in Vietnam. Wish I had them both back. Glad to see there's some young guys lovin them old rides too.
My dad had a green ford 2dr sedan with 3speed and overdrive that he put together had a merc engine 100hp compared to the ford 80hp drove it from ct to Colorado and sold in 62 he wish he still had that car
Wow what a Stach back in the day you could have Sean something like that but not know I am almost 80 years old and never did . You have a lot of talent to do that for the guy nice job Hoya Hoya Tom t Phx jet two
Thanks for the ID info, there's one thing that I love and that's the reclaiming of our automotive history. There's one thing that I've learned in dealing with the Ford small block OHV V8 "Windsor- Cleveland", you had better learn to know what you're dealing with before you commit to doing anything.
I've heard that flatheads can rust through the water jackets if they're left sitting, have you came across any like that? Man, I would love to get a flathead, they're a lot of fun, what I need is something to put it in.
These are the SAD days when a man simply has to admit he'll never get to it.Time waits for no one and it won't wait for you. Matt you sure seem to be good guy to be friends with. Not afraid of grease & grime and WORK.
molson 12 oz It is a sad fact of life these old farts collect this stuff, any stuff, most of their life thinking one day they will get to restoring it but the cold hard facts are 95% of the time it NEVER happens !!!! They get too old to work on it, or never have the money to restore anything and the usual scenerio is the old fart dies and the heir, kids etc have to come in and clean up the mess they left behind and to most of them it is just junk and it is easy to just call the scrapper and haul it away !!! It happens with cars, tractors, airplanes, you name it. Sad but true!!! Hopefully they will sell most of this stuff and get some money out of it before the old fart dies !!!
@ Hey dumb ass !!! i am an OLD FART !!! WHy I use the term !!!! I been down that road a loooooooooooong way and been there done that many times !!!!! SOooooooooson go fuk your self !!!
A very good deed you're doing by helping out this Guy! I don't know crap about these engines but thanks for some of the tips! My Grandfather had a 33 Rat Rod I'm told with a Flathead V8 in it all Customized back in the day. P.s How much does one of those weigh?
Thanks for watching Kyle, it's my pleasure to help these guys out as it's how I learn so much just asking questions and being around them! I'd guess an bare block without all the accessories is 250 pounds or so. Your Grandfather was probably a rad dude with a car like that! Thanks for tuning in! -Matt/ITG
@@IronTrapGarage My GrandFather was a Diehard, Even with Stage 4 Cancer we were told by the Doc he won't last more than 2 Day... All us Guys got pissed and told him how it was, We Said Easily 1 week, so it was just about 1 week and 1 day. Even after he passed we saw Shadows, and Smelt Ciggerettes & Coffee in the morning for about 2-3 years. He wasn't ready.
Very sorry to hear he went out that way but sounds like he didn't go down without a fight. At least you all have the memories of one of the OG badasses! Thanks for sharing man! -Matt/ITG
I couldn't help but notice PA plates on your truck, where are you guys based out of? I have a pretty decent collection of Flathead parts myself from my father, and might be considering selling off some of it to fund building the 35 Ford Coupe in my profile pic, also left to me by my dad.
the white stuff might allso be some sort of crack detection , i rember a way they put red dye on the material wipe the clean the spray on white , the red stuff whent in the cracks and leached out intoo the white showing the cracks verry clearly
Exelente video .felicitaciones, yo estoy armando un flathead de un Ford 47 sedan de mi propiedad con leva isky max 1,doble carburador stromberg 94s ,tren de válvulas de alto rendimiento y algunas pequeñas reformas de transmisión, espero q tanto sacrificio q hice por mucho tiempo de sus frutos y q mi motor funcione bien, saludos cordiales desde Argentina
Nice collection, looks like Carl had a great time with old fords . I hope I'm that age before I have to get rid of my rusty iron. But you can't take it with you. Also hope I have good friends to help me out when I'm getting rid of me old rust. Good job Matt, true friends are hard to find. Thanks for the video Matt, keep up the good work.
In the beginning you say the one is coming home with you (8BA), so can you do a video on the flatheads of what to look for, what's good, bad, and desirable, for those of us that don't know....
Kudos to you Matt for helping that Gentleman out. You need the whole crew to help you get to all of that. Thanks for the lesson on how to ID the different Flat Heads...
That 4x4 80's flareside in the background, black with the gold pinstriping is actually one of my dream trucks. With a warmed up 300 inline six, 4speed with granny first, lifted on 35's 🤠👍
Wow Matt that's cool to see don't get to see meany over in Australia mate. Something I've always wanted to learn more about is the old school flathead V8s as I've dreamed about building a t-bucket with a flathead in it old school style. Anyways Matt love your video's mate hope we can work out something on the old dirt track car as I'd need help with parts to build it as well. Keep up the good work mate Wayne
I worked out in western NSW a while back. At lightning Ridge, out among the mining camps close to town are tons of flatties . Even picked out a 48 Jail bar that had been modified to work an old style opal washing plant. The V8 was only used to move it around as it had an old vanguard engine driving the pant on the back. it had sat for years but I got it to run after a days mucking about. If you ever get out that way,spend a week or two exploring. Theres lots of cars of all types parked in the bush ...many untouched for decades.
I remember when a running flat head would bring about $25 if it was a 49-53, they had a real problem with cracked heads. That was back in 1965 or so. Lots of flatheads and the cars they came in went during the Viet Nam war when the price of scrap iron went up.
It is a good thing you are keeping the old Hotrodding skills alive. It would be a dreadful shame if they were lost when the OG's die. Just imagine how much knowledge is in you old mate's head.
It must be so sad to look at your hobby you enjoyed for decades and to know you'll never be able to enjoy it again. I am not looking forward to that day. Kudos to you for helping the old timer out though.
Wow, that pile offers hope that there is still a lot of this vintage stuff around. Tonight, the Blasters at Sellerville Theatre and tomorrow Trexelertown swap meet. I'll look for you and Mike to say hi.
Man, Ford sold so many of the high trim-level trucks, CCSB, that I'd bet fewer than 10% actually need the extra room in the back seat, but having that longer bed would've been a benefit. But I get it. They're hard to come by. I have a '15 Lariat SCLB, and it was the only one available when I bought it. Plenty of CCSB Lariats though, at $2000 extra! I truly think Ford did this on purpose because there's a bigger profit margin in the CC's. I have 3 friends who never use the back seat (other than for tools, which I do also), but have really needed that longer bed plenty of times. Plus I'm a bit biased; I think the SCLB just looks better, proportionately.
I cut my teeth on 59 A-B's & 8 B-A's. We always used the 100 horse flatties in all of our hotrods, that & the 39 tranny, plus hydraulic brakes from 39-48,with 40-48 drums being preferred for their 5&1/2, on 5 bolt pattern. We used the 16 inch wires on the T's , A's & 32's. The Good Old Days, My Youth...
Flathead heaven... or hell. Who knows, hopefully whoever buys them has an easy time fixing them up. Love your content, your channel is bringing me back into the hot rod scene. Keep up the awsome work👍👍
Neat to watch the history and tips. Good on you for helping. We are about to move a huge collection of Honda 1972 Coupes to myVA They are going to keep our 67' Minis company. (Hmmm, these are modern cars, just babies compared to what you are working with).
I don't know what you do at Iron Trap to clean rusty parts like those, but here in the Chicago area there's a place called Redi strip that derusts parts by immersing them in an alkaline tank and they run a current through it in an electrolytic reaction (like reverse plating). It works awesome, removing only rust and doesn't touch good metal. Great process. Besides car stuff, they do industrial stuff like train and boat engine blocks etc.
I know this is an old video but I was wondering if Carl still has an 8BA for sale .Just let me know on your comments back to me if he does or not. Thank so much.
Extra money towards the old age penson, just don't tell the TAX people!!! Now those are the things that you hoard ! Did you get your engine on the cheap????????????
If it has blockoff plates It had water pumps in the head. Also block plates I think have bearings. The ones with pumps in head no block plate are Babbitt bearing. I think.
I recall as a youngster watching a train passing under a bridge. It was gondola cars full of scrap engines. They were flatheads of every configuration all now long gone.
Here at the Rock there are 2 basic rules; The first rule is obey all rules. The second rule is no writing on walls, because it makes it hard to erase writing from walls.
Cool stuff. I found a Flathead in a junkyard earlier this year. It was tough to sell Nobody wanted it .I sold it for what it cost me just to get rid of it.
Sad they were left outside, the white color is from elctrolist, cause by aluminum pistons and cast iron with water, makes a battery. Will have to sleeve allot of the blocks that has water in cycinders. Really Sad!
It is sad, but unfortunately he was forced by the township to dispose of his old truck bodies he had filled with parts and these had to go on pallets under tarps.. somehow the township thought that "looked better" than old truck bodies storing the stuff.. At least he covered them! I think a lot of them can just be bored and used. He's selling them cheap enough it's still worth it! -Matt/ITG
Hi Michael, yes there is still a large demand for flatheads. Lots of guys going back to the traditional or "old school" style with old engines in these old rods. -Matt/ITG
@@IronTrapGarage do you have a website I can jot down incase I wanna purchase one? Thanks for the reply.... that guy did right by saving those blocks. I'm sure you'll sell them all for him

Matt can you do a segment on how too identify the ford flat heads and the Horse power
Real cool stuff bro
Is that old ford truck with the plow spoken for????
Any 53' flatties? I know the is more than a year old now but I still have to ask. Also as I'm just finding this where are you located?
Did all the ford flathead v8,s have the bell housing as part of the block ? Great video thankyou sir
All up until the 8ba style of 49-53.

All that rusty gold! So cool he is getting it sorted now with someone that appreciates what he has before a scraper comes along.
Quite the stash. Looks almost like backyard of H&H, in California.Your are the man, helping Carl. Thanks for sharing.JT
Hey Matt, is there any way I could get one or two of those flathead engines, let me know.
Send us an email. irontrapgarage@gmail.com
In my country all that stuff is usable. But the hoarders got them & then lost them all.
Extra money towards the old age penson, just don't tell the TAX people!!! Now those are the things that you hoard ! Did you get your engine on the cheap????????????
If it has blockoff plates It had water pumps in the head. Also block plates I think have bearings. The ones with pumps in head no block plate are Babbitt bearing. I think.

Would you sell me a Flat head V8 if I come get it? I just don't want a stuck one. I don't care if it runs. Kinda cheap? Just love the old engines.

good vid well done /////what make of dog is that lab and ?????
thanks Matt for showing respect for the older man . that means a lot your a good man we now know more about you good job ohio
And that's just one guys stash. Gotta make you wonder just how much treasure is still out there, waiting to be found.
I am interested in a 1934 21 stud v8 the one with the water pumps in the head..not too desired.. I don't know how to email you?
Why magnafuck a flathead block when they're know for cracks on day two and still ball it?
That tractor ended up being a lot of bang for bucks. Very useful and easily transportable.
You have your work cut out for you moving all those blocks. Glad to see you're helping Carl out.

I used to have a set of jackstands like the one on top of the tarps.
Need to put one of them FH in your tractor....😜
You need a crew over there thats alot of work.
Are you still working for Eastwood?
50 bucks a piece
Sad they were left outside, the white color is from elctrolist, cause by aluminum pistons and cast iron with water, makes a battery. Will have to sleeve allot of the blocks that has water in cycinders. Really Sad!
It is sad, but unfortunately he was forced by the township to dispose of his old truck bodies he had filled with parts and these had to go on pallets under tarps.. somehow the township thought that "looked better" than old truck bodies storing the stuff.. At least he covered them! I think a lot of them can just be bored and used. He's selling them cheap enough it's still worth it! -Matt/ITG
WoW 😎
Cool dog!
Is there still a demand for flat heads Overseas inquiry thx
Hi Michael, yes there is still a large demand for flatheads. Lots of guys going back to the traditional or "old school" style with old engines in these old rods. -Matt/ITG
Are they still good? I might be interested in a late model
All flatheads are a gamble. These are cores to rebuild we haven’t sent them out to be checked so it’s hard to say their exact condition.
@@IronTrapGarage do you have a website I can jot down incase I wanna purchase one? Thanks for the reply.... that guy did right by saving those blocks. I'm sure you'll sell them all for him
Any V8-60s?
We haven’t found any yet!
If you stumble across one I might be interested, or a big 8QE or 8EL truck engine with 27 head bolts.
This is almost a year ago so it's probably been picked clean by now.
Does he have any 60 hp’s?
I think he may have a couple but I need to uncover them to find them! I’ll probably do another video once I get further dug in.
Thanks for info
Thanks for watching! -Matt/ITG
Seeing one of his beloved flatheads hit the dirt, Carl's BP shot up too 250/90.
Nahhh he actually laughed haha. He’s seen and done it all! Lol
I had 5 flatheads down to 3 now. All 3 run. And have good oil pressure.
