j hancock Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 It was used in EH and EQ models as well. Continental sold lots of engines to other manufacturers but I don't know all the applications for it.Parts can be found for them. May take a little hunting and some $. Not easy like 350 Chevy parts but not hen's teeth either. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

fxfymn Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 An acquaintance recently rebuilt his. The only part he had a really hard time finding was a new drive gear for the distributor which he eventually located in NY. 1 Quote Money, sex, and fire; everybody thinks everyone else is getting more than they are!

j hancock Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 It would look similar to the EH which is on the left. Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

yarnall Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I have an old continental flat head out of one of Smith's old Mack's. I don't know what kind of shape it is in but would be willing to sell it. I can check if you want.

Maddog13407 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 pretty sure all the smaller Mack badged flathead engines, 291, 331, 401's were all continentals, or at least continentals design. only the bigger overhead valve Thermodynes were Macks own and they we really relatives of the Lanova design..

Superdog Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I'm probably wrong but weren't the bigger flatheads that were badged as Magnadynes all Mack designed ?

Maddog13407 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 I thought all the flatheads, 291,331 and 401's were all Magnadynes Mikes but also thought they were all of continental design Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34111-mack-ej-questions/#findComment-224907 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 REF Continental engines: You can get some good answers on the Brockway Trucks.org site. I believe that there is a shop in the Utica NY area which rebuilds them and there is also a parts supply place in the Chicago area. 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34111-mack-ej-questions/#findComment-224920 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 UER or United Engine Rebuilders in Utica use to rebuild them all the time. they always had a rebuilt 401 in stock years ago.
