Early Ford V-8 Club Forum

FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

  1. All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
  2. You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
  3. Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
  4. Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
  5. No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
  6. No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
  7. VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
  8. EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

    http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

    Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)
  9. HOW DO I SHOW MY EMAIL ADDRESS ALONG WITH MY USERNAME? You can LogIn on the Forum, and select PREFERENCES. On this page Members can add optional information such as their City,State, Country; Occupation; Hobbies: list a Homepage; list AOL Instant Messanger Handle; Signature; "Make Email Address viewable to others;" and even change the number of Default Topics shown on a page. WHEN others click on your profile, they will see this information.

Now that I read it again, I must agree with you.

Mike, I think he meant that the SN is near the rivets in the crossmember.

There was never a plate riveted to the frame with a serial number.

There's a flat boss on the bell housing just above the clutch inspection cover. The SN is stamped on that boss and has the prefix along with the production number. That number is the number that is stamped on the frame at the time the engine and transmission are placed in the frame at the time of assembly.

Triford8, thanks for your input. The frame has the vin. number stamped in three places on the frame, but the front one by the crossmember rivets on the drivers side of the car ,is the only one of the three that can be seen with the body on the frame, and it's the only one that has the "pre-fix "included . The other place which I am told that gets the vin. number stamped first is the top of the bell on the rear of the transmission. I am not sure if this one includes the "pre-fix "in it.This one can be viewed by removing the two wooden floor pans , and the transmission cover I am told , but if the transmission was replaced it will have a different vin. Number.Domenic

Mike that's great that you actually have the break down of the 1940Ford Deluxe car's with the 60 HP and the 54 pre-fix. When I do the math and subtract the four doors and the one convertible, I am left with only 42 car's. Do you know how the 42 cars are divided up into two door sedan's, and coupe's?By 1940 their was no Phaeton,1939 saw the last one of those. Domenic

In order to determine if a '40 came with the 60 motor you can tell by the serial # on the frame. If it was a 60 car the serial number prefix would 54 rather than 18.

There were 204 deluxe models equipped with the 60HP engine. One was actually a convertible. Most (161) were fordor sedans.

I don't believe that we were at gas rationing yet. I was just able to purchase an original 1941 Willy's steel coupe . It still has the original 4 cylinder flathead engine, and it produces 63 HP . It weights 2200 lbs. and they say that it was the car for everyone, that nobody wanted. Looking at what Mike said, I think that some people just had to be frugal . Thanks Mike for your input.

1940 Ford V8-60 engines differ from the 1937 thru 1939 engines in several ways. The 1940 engine has the cooling fan mounted to the front of the crankshaft, the oil filler pipe is located in the intake manifold instead of the bell housing area, and the crankshaft main bearing journals are 1/10" larger in diameter.
