I don't know of any rebuilders in your area but am willing to share some of my experiences with rebuilding a 1940 Ford Flathead V-8 engine with you. 1. Have the engine block and cylinder heads thoroughly cleaned and degreased. 2. Have the block and heads Magnaflux checked for cracks before beginning your rebuild. 3. Use the standard 1940 Ford oil pump on the engine - do not use the later higher volume oil pump unless you are willing to have the crankshaft machined to allow the later rope seals to be used at the rear of the crankshaft. 4. You can use a partial flow oil filter if you want to. 5. You must modify the crankshaft and use rear rope seals if you use either a full flow oil filter or the later higher volume oil pump. 6. Once your engine is rebuilt, use a straight SAE 30 weight detergent oil with a break-in additive containing the required amounts of ZDDP to minimize wear, oil leaking and oil burning.
