Flathead inline 4 bangers. 1928 Plymouth 170 cubic inches 3 5/8ths x 4 1/8 bore and stroke 4.6 lbs compression 45 HP 1928 Ford 200 cubic inches 3.7/8ths x 4.125 bore and stroke 4.3 pounds compression 40 HP 1928 Chevrolet 170 cubic inches 3 11/16ths by 4" bore and stroke 4.5 pounds compression 35 HP I think the reason those early engines all had such low compression is because most cars were crank start back then. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree withe the wheels. I'm old school and have never liked the big rim/thin tire look. But as far as the truck itself, while I can appreciate the quality of the workmanship, I really don't like 4 door trucks of any kind. Also, unless the Trucks had different grilles than the cars for 1940,, this truck looks to be a 39 rather than a 40. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a custom build so I don't know if you can count on anything being what year it's supposed to be, lol. I like the 4 door build mainly because my experience has been that it usually provides so much more leg space in the vehicle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe there was a whole regimen about how one held the crank, particularly thumb placement, so that a kickback didn’t break a thumb or arm. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
