Mike I respectfully disagree with you. The Flathead Ford V8 was designed to provide high performance from the "get go". With the Ford V8 you had...
It was a check out and refresh job. No machine shop work required. It was'nt running due to no compression due to a complete failure of the head...
I don't think it's a stretch at all if after you disassemble and find you have a good block and crank. That $500 could get you rings, brgs and...
This is false, the stock 221 in my `41 will run all day and pass the "pussy footing" street rodders on the interstate. Done it many times.
What's easier? Pulling and rebuilding a simple Flathead V8 or replacing the entire driveline with anything else? I doubt half of the guys that are...
I agree my mistake it was `66.
I'm in Florida. If that is Fast Eddie Schartman I'd love to meet him. Do you know how to get ahold of him still (longshot)? Fast Eddie was and...
If a funny car is a short wheelbased, tube framed dragster covered by a flip up one piece 'glass body like we can see at any NHRA race today, then...
The advantage is you end up with eight completely equal, fully machined combustion chambers. Another thing about the MEL is that those chambers...
The biggest wall in the Flathead Ford horsepower equation is the so called transfer area and combustion chamber position relative to the intake...
Get well soon Linda!
Boy o boy, Chevrolet has a lock on this........
I just looked back and saw you have an 8BA already. That's great, easier to service. Freshen that baby up and go!
Toast did you say you have an 8BA in the `40 right now? Or is it an earlier engine? You know I'm a Ford purist. In my humble opinion enough Fords...
Here is part 2. I'm sure this gent is a Hamber. A little display of Lincoln 337 power: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xO8xoPsJK_U&feature=related
Oh here is a video of a 337 in a Model A. Looks like it's not having any trouble squirting down the road. Remember this engine has powered at...
Would you like to sell or trade your 337?
With any Flathead V8 from Ford you have the possibility of a little interference between the left side ext manifold and the steering box since the...
Should work fine, though I've never seen it done. I'm interested if anyone has as well. It will have all kinds of power when you get it done. Have...
The first time I called Mondello Performance I got to talk to Joe himself. Great guy, answered all my questions and he gave me some tips. I bought...

Great engine. The ports and valves are the right size for a potent street engine. Open chambers breate well but some say are prone to detonation...
Guys if you have a post Flathead era Ford V8 engine and are contemplating a swap into the cramped engine bay of an early Ford or whatever, check...
This post is in reference to the previous comment about the difficulty in obtaining Ford parts. Ford has oft been criticized for not making enough...
Thanks for cleaning up the details. Milo Coleman was a good customer of mine here in west central Florida. He had some pretty interesting projects...
I have a friend, Milo Coleman, who used to own and race a `64 Fairlane called the "Little Lord Fotus". It was a play on words referring to the...
I guess the good thing is that today there are competitive Ford combinations. I don't know the names of the drivers and I'm not familiar with...
Jim Shampine had pretty good luck with Fords for quite awhile. Dick Trickle dominated his similar form of racing in the mid- west with Fords waaay...
