You mentioned that the 1932 one was pre-1932. You can't get much earlier than 1932 before the motors become Model-A, 4 cylinder. (I'm assumimg that you are referring to a V-8 for the pre-1932.)

My memory is hazy about that era of Ford, but it seemed to me that Ford may have brought out a Model-B for a very short time in 1930, then stopped production. The Model-B was an updated Model-A. Chevrolet introduced their smooth running and more powerful 6 cylinder passenger car with hydraulic brakes. This spelled the end of sales of the Model-A with mechanical rod operated brakes. Ford stopped production and rushed the deployment of his V-8 that was in development. I thought that the first year for the Ford V-8 was 1932.

As I understand it, there was a time gap between the Model-A and the V-8 where Ford had nothing to sell. Ford had been reluctant to adopt hydraulic brakes - His thinking was that all braking was lost with a single failure anywhere in the hydraulic system.

Let us know how your engine finds turn out. The pre-1932 one may be rare.

So, go give him $151.00 and bring 'em home. A few young people, like me for example, have an appreciation for old things like that. I suspect most people including car guys look at them as good for boat anchors at best.

Go get them while the getting's good!
