This ’39 Mercury has fought Matt and the gang every step of the way, but it finally got a new to it engine. After saving it from an old garage, where it had 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!
In this episode, you’ll see that engine fully installed and see this awesome find finally run like it deserves!

Video Description:
Since the 1939 Mercury now runs on its own gas tank, we need to tune in the carburetors better. Since the engine currently has open headers, the engine is not quite running as it should, so Matt is going to work on building a custom dual exhaust. Matt ordered a new set of Fenton headers to get the exhaust headed in the right direction, and is going to use a 2″ mandrel kit to build a custom exhaust. The new Evolution 15″ Chop Saw makes quick work of the exhaust tubing, and we cant wait to really put it to work! The hopped up flathead has an amazing sound and we cant wait to take this for a spin!!
