I'm all new to this but need to upgrade the stock brakes on my '28 A. REALLY want to keep the stock wire wheels. I'm really confused on how the...
Got the intake and carb on. Still need to set up the linkage but started right up and runs pretty good. Motor seems sound so that is good news!...
Kool! Thanks for the link! Have to do some measuring/thinking...
Thanks, I will keep updating. The setup comes with open driveline. Have to figure out how to support the diff. without the torque tube??
Well guys I guess I'm keeping the stock 4 banger...as a complete S10 T5 setup out of an A just popped up on Craigslist couple hundred miles away....
I've had '50 & '54 fords along with a '56pu and thought about a '57 or 67 rancharo but like the look & feel of this A. But if ya know of a nice...
:D:D
From what I'm looking at something around a 6.5 head is what I'm thinking of. I do like the look of 97carb but the pinto type holley seems a...
Thanks! Good info and links. What mods do you have and what is your real world cruising speed?

Thanks, I really like the look/feel of it too (why I bought it) but really want to drive it (not work on it all the time) and have fun. It wasn't...
Thanks, More stuff to check out...
Yes complete backing plates with shoes, springs & wheel cyls. I think like '56 truck with 5 on 5 1/2 circle. Just saw pictures, will diffidently...
I totally get the original part and would try to allow any changes to easily be undone but I bought it because it wasn't really a collector or...
Kool, thanks for the link! Yeah I was thinking at least $1000 for brakes. Sac ford has a Bendix kit for $400 an axle plus about $125 for drums...
Looked at the "floaters" but with the cost of new drums, might as well go hyd or even disc?? I have adjusted them. System is in good shape (except...
Yes, my first choice but, WAAAYYY out of my price range!!!
I was hoping I wouldn't have the box the frame staying under 100hp?? I do plan on driving around town awhile and getting the feel of it but it...
LOL;) Have to say, From my very limited knowledge on the Tillitson and updraft I am not a fan. It would be the first to go?? I don't need to go...
I don't plan on 80, texting or going to starbucks but under 60 on the freeway is a great way to get killed leave alone just piss'n folks off....
Thanks for response! Problem I have is I don't really want to spend $3k+ to "remanufacture" the engine plus the speed equipment. Are ya saying the...
Thanks for the link!!! I am having a hard time navigating this site???
Yes I did look at those dyno results. Barely making 60 hp? But not head and cam combo. I've seen others with "touring" cam and 6.5 head making a...
I guess it would be a huckster? Body cut off at the cowl and wooden panel body added. It was used to deliver milk and recently owned by a rather...
