About the engine......

The early 1937 21-stud engine is the favorite replacement engine for '32 to '36 Ford V8's. It is an inserted main bearing like the LB's of late 1936. It also allows you to put the early heads on the engine to "look" correct, hoses and all.

Because it's the insert type bearing engine it's more $desirable.

The 1937 block was the replacement block from Ford for the older style '32 to '36 21-stud cars and trucks that had V8's after its introduction in late 1936. It allowed you to use your heads, radiator etc. and only change the short block.

forgot to add that the '37 replacement block occasionally shows up NOS even in the last 15 years. Ford made a bunch of them and it is the next best block to a 1936 LB, or an original block, as far as looking correct in the early cars. Full inserted mains.

6 volt electrical system. Oil pressure is 20 psi at idle after warming up. 30 psi before warm up.

About the steel....

Henry Ford built a fine car using only top-quality materials such as Vanadium steel.

Vanadium Steel

This lightweight, (blueish dark gray color) durable, easily machined steel alloy was developed in Europe and used on racing cars and premium-priced vehicles before Ford became aware of it around 1905. He recognized that the material's high tensile strength (nearly three times greater than cheaper, lower-grade steels) would allow him to make a stronger, lighter, better performing car.

During a car race in Florida, Ford examined the wreckage of a French car and noticed that many of its parts were of lighter-than-ordinary steel. The team on Piquette Avenue ascertained that the French steel was a vanadium alloy, but that no one in America knew how to make it. The finest steel alloys then used in American automaking provided 60,000 pounds of tensile strength. Ford learned that vanadium steel, which was much lighter, provided 170,000 pounds of tensile strength. As part of the pre-production for the new model, Ford imported a metallurgist and bankrolled a steel mill. As a result, the only cars in the world to utilize vanadium steel would be French luxury cars and the Ford, it might break down every so often, but it would not break.
