3k-One Year-30's Ford-Rat Rod Build Thread

[Wolfco]

The engine was a greasy mess. It had a tough life in the ambulance but i am told they are well maintained during the ambulance life...it didnt smoke when i drove it home so i hope it has some power..kinda hard to judge the power as it was running a bit rough due to sitting so long. It was Sunday and i didnt have a nearby store for engine degreaser so i used a $1.00 can of oven cleaner, that stuff is potent (this is the old good stuff that makes your eyes water, not the new "water based" stuff)...i loaded the engine in the truck and took it for a pressure wash =-only 2 blocks away...back to the shop to unload the clean engine. It was black, blue and rusty...needs some flat black stove paint.
