My 1941 Ford V8 Pick up has not run for thirty years also. I pulled the motor thirty years ago and it is on a palette in my garage covered up. I have another motor that I am putting into it now and should have it started in a few weeks or so. I did get the motor started on an engine stand a few years ago and it runs great.

Cool, I have a 40 to, but mine does not have an engine! bought it like scrap metal from some dude, and planning on bringing it back to life! Still deciding on rat or more elaborated customising
