its a ford 3.7. both valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube groments and intake manifold gaskets since it has to come off to get the passenger side.Not just derailed,total train wreck. Valve cover gasket?
not a terribly hard job. just eats up my time, especially since its in the elements and raining most of the week. while waiting on parts.
I believe the color scheme on the model A was factory offered. this one being a 31. although it was never a complete car, it was bought in pieces and assembled in his garage. He also painted it himself, so there could be some variation from factory.
Incoming Personal Note...
My grandfather worked for decades trying to finish this project, alzheimer's and dementia got the better of him later in life, he never saw this actually completed and running reliably. He would haunt me if he knew what I wanted to do with it LOL. Not a small block Chevy or anything too wild. I want a turn key 1931 ,looking from the outside, car. I've thought about swapping a 2.3L and a 5 speed from a late 90's ford ranger into it. just for ease of drivability and maintenance. these cars are known for distributor failure (most original model A guys have a spare or two in the car with them on trips along with a lot of other parts known to fail)
