Hemmings Find of the Day – Ford flathead V-8 engines

Once was a time when this land was awash in flathead Ford V-8s, and not under the hood of cars where they belonged. Nowadays, thanks to the traditional hot rod scene, we won’t say that flathead Ford V-8s have become scarce, but they’re certainly not littering the landscape anymore. So when four come up for sale at once, as we see in this group of Ford flathead V-8 engines for sale on Hemmings.com, it’s worth highlighting. From the seller’s description:

Two were used to drive wind machines in an orange grove and have been stored outside in their original metal enclosures. One engine is from a vehicle and has been stored outside. One Mercury flathead motor (255 cu in), protected in garage since ownership.
