    Engine out :- Taking the engine out for the final time, this was August 2010. The wood work that you can see was put on and off many times together with the engine, hopefully to get things right.

    The French Flathead :- It is now August 2011 and this is a picture of a French Flathead. This engine will be converted to a car specification the same as a Ford Mercury at 4.3ltr and retain the Allard 9″ clutch. The original French Flathead clutch was an 11″ because this engine was used in a truck.
