This ’39 Mercury has fought Matt and the gang every step of the way, but it is finally getting a new to it engine. After saving it from an old garage, where it has been all but forgotten for decades, their attempts to get it back running just kept failing. No matter what they did it would not run and finally Matt threw in the towel and decided that another engine was in order. When they started to pull this old engine from the Mercury it became apparent that there was more going on with this thing than Matt realized. Thank god they went with a new engine. And it sounds bitchin!

Video Description:

The 1939 Mercury we pulled from a small garage in New Jersey is one of the nicest originals we have seen, but it’s current engine will not budge. After tinkering on it this Fall, Matt decided it really needed a replacement engine. In the last episode, we took a spare flathead and installed a Winfield cam, Fenton heads and intake. Today Matt, Steve and Jason are going to work on removing the old boat anchor and breathing some life into the old Mercury. Hopefully by the end we have a running engine in the car!!
