if its an original it should have a flathead v8

2019-04-07 05:51:49 UTC  

often old fords like that were modified by hotrodders in the 50s with y block motors

2019-04-07 05:52:03 UTC  

specifically the lincoln y block

2019-04-07 05:52:16 UTC

neat, you know its amazing how little some motorcycle designs have changed since the 30s

2019-04-07 05:53:47 UTC  

Shit man they ran out of stuff to look at. The rest are just muscle cars that everyone knows about

2019-04-07 05:54:24 UTC  

they were originally built for the military

2019-04-07 05:54:27 UTC  

Chevelles, Mustangs, Chargers, Challengers and Plymouths

2019-04-07 05:54:45 UTC  

many knuckleheads were rehabbed for civilian use after the war

2019-04-07 05:55:21 UTC  

knuckleheads were popular among teenagers in the 50s

2019-04-07 05:55:37 UTC  

they are old outdated design but highly reliable

2019-04-07 05:57:19 UTC  

for what kind of application? or do you mean the engine?

2019-04-07 05:57:43 UTC  

the term knucklehead refers to the cylinder heads of the engine

2019-04-07 05:58:08 UTC  

ah ok cool sry, not too many types of motors here

2019-04-07 05:58:08 UTC  

but the motorcyckles themselves are reliable not just the motor

2019-04-07 05:58:33 UTC  

they were used in ww2 by us troops

2019-04-07 05:59:04 UTC  

many of them were probs left over in europe too when we withdrawed from the western front

2019-04-07 05:59:57 UTC  

knuckleads were produced from 1938 to at least 1942

2019-04-07 06:00:54 UTC  

the engine was an oddity att

2019-04-07 06:01:08 UTC  

because it was an OHV engine and not a flathead

2019-04-07 06:02:29 UTC  

so apparently according to this it was first produced in 1936 and ended production in 1948

2019-04-07 06:03:49 UTC  

remember this was during a time when flatheads were basically universal

2019-04-07 06:04:19 UTC  

so this motorcycle could literally beat almost any german bike on the road

2019-04-07 06:05:22 UTC  

to put this in perspective, GM produced its first OHV engine in 1949

2019-04-07 06:05:31 UTC  

ford in 1953

2019-04-07 06:05:42 UTC  

packard in 1955

2019-04-07 06:06:52 UTC  

chrysler in 1955

2019-04-07 06:07:50 UTC  

although i could be wrong about chrysler
