Projects I’ve been bitten by the banger bug 29 roadster

that, and count the rear leafs... not fact, cause I don't know shit about A's... but I think the rumble roadsters had an extra leaf????? but maybe someone will chime in on how many to leave and which ones to pull... they ride nice with that cheep mod....

 

Nice start! I like bangers too!

 

Super cool man!! I need an intake like that! That's the look man!

 

Thanks! Since those pics. I put some bent spoke Kelsey Hayes Wheels on it and reupholstered the seat. I also put a 39 trans in it with the Clings adapter, what a difference. More recent pic

 

Cool!

 

Super nice car man! I would like to get a 39 trans in mine. I’ve got a couple crusty ones I’ve been holding on to, might be time to go thru one.

 

Thank you! I really like the 39 in mine. My buddy just rebuilt one and put one in a 31 Tudor sedan and he also likes it. Originally he was going to put a Mitchell one in and the wait was 9 months to year for there trans, but didn't want to wait.

 

Picked up this intake. Looks like it’s been modified a little but I still like it.

 

Nice, man! You’re definitely going in the right direction.

 

Thanks man!

 

Awesome.

I used to kinda poo poo the bangers, but after going to the Pinetree Jamboree and seeing all the banger powered As rip down the 1/8 mile all day, getting loads of passes, and having an absolute BLAST, I changed my tune.

Now I need one too!

 

Yeah, I love this little thing! I still plan to finish my Av8 though.

 

Stumbled across this old thing this weekend. I’ve been wanting to try my hand at assembling a motor so maybe this is the one! I hate everyone paying to get Babbitt work done in there area?

 

I would run a Model head to get rid of that 3 bolt water pump. The 3 bolt water pumps are getting hard to find. Of course that includes speed heads built for the Model A. If you run a stock Model A head there are a couple of water passages that need to be plugged. Be careful there are two 3 bolt water pumps. The '32 is longer and is what you need in a Model A. The '33-34 is shorter due to the sloped radiator (see first attached picture). I have also attached a photo of a nice looking engine that I saw at a show.

I make and sell folding 28-29 Ford roadster windshield posts, sell them here on the HAMB in "Parts for sale"

 

Very cool! Will check’em out.

 

It came with this pump and adapter. Unsure on if I will use it or not.

 

My car has 6.0 head touring cam and overdrive. It'll go down the freeway just below 70 @ 160 degrees water temp all day long. I'm going to toss a 6.5 head and Stromberg 97 on it until I finish my flathead B - Brierley 7:1 head his Winfield R1 cam, cross drilled C crank Zipper electronic ignition. Then onto my Rutherford OHV restoration project.

 

How are you going to mount your fan? I hope you are not planning on an electric one.

I would not buy the parts I’m showing to use an electric fan. I been a tool maker since I was 20 that’s almost 30 years in the trade now, I can probably figure a fan mount. That being said again if I wanted all shiny billet stuff I would make it myself. I’m a long way from needing a fan just yet.

 

I always liked the fan at the end of the water pump shaft on a banger.
