Well, thanks butch but like I said, deal is off, engine was junk.
Well, it doesn't matter now. Just talked to my brother, he's not bringing it home. Engine was not what it was supposed to be....
So you're saying you have the typical Hurst/Tardel mount bolted to a 409 but some of the blocks may not be drilled for it depending on the year?...
Did a search and can't find the answer. Does the typical Hurst Front Engine Mount (the one with the dual bolt pattern) for the SBC/BBC also work...
Couldn't you build a box (32 style) off the trans crossmember to mount Model A pedals and a master cylinder?
Here's mine, un-channeled and a 4" chop. I'm 5' 10" and it's tight with a stock seat riser and 3" thick seat base. I have about 6" from the top of...
not sure what they are from, what you see is what you get. some rust but not bad. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Hey I was right!
I agree, he can always update later on to a V8. If you're at least driving it instead of working on it for 5 years it really helps. With a...
He said it's a 30 coupe (I'm guessing ford) and he said stock muffler so I'm guessing it's a banger. Anyway, I'm using 2 Smithys glasspacks on my...
Most of the time there is no set formula, just gotta get your parts together, put em on and see where things are.
Well, I'm no expert but, half of a 28" tall tire is 14" plus I would think at least 3" maybe 4" between top of tire and inside top of fender for...
How will the eyes being reversed solve my problem unless the spring itself is wider? Also it will alter the stance which, to be fair so would a...
Well, if it's a traditional style part that no one could easily distinguish from a ford part I might be interested. If it's something that's...
Hahahahahaha
No coil overs for me. Just not my thing, same as disc brakes, one wire alternators, electric fans etc. There has to be a solution for this using...
Well 5" is way too much. Rides like a brick. The bones and the shocks (15° angle) do a pretty good job of keeping it centered, the rear doesn't...
Well, it's time to put my A pickup away for the winter. After beating the day lights out of it since May, I gotta say it's been pretty damn...
AFTER you get the Tardel/Bishop book: 1) get a body 2) get a rear axle/bones/spring 3) get a front axle/bones/spring/spindles (put the catalogs...
Congrats. That's a lot nicer body, even minus the parts, than a lot of us start with.
Yep, 7 3/8". That's what I lengthened my A frame for a spring behind 40 axle. Some will say 7 1/2" but it's really 7 3/8".
I've got a PDF print of a 3 bolt flange for an F1 box. You just trim the flange ears off the F1 box so it's just a round snout. You make the hole...
Anything 32 is going to be $$$$ and I don't know how long they are. My 31 is 31 1/4" from firewall to grille shell. I have a 28-29 hood laying...
Thanks
Thanks. I don't care for the look of flipped firewalls on 30-31 model A's for engine clearance. When you lose the rounded edge to the firewall at...
Thanks.
Here's my 1957 283 in my A pickup. It's a front mount only block with a hurst mount and an oil canister. 3731539 heads Howards hydraulic cam...
Not sure about a 32 frame but, I have an AV8 with an F1 box and a 36 pitman arm. Had to file out the 4 clocking teeth so I could get it where I...
Yep. Every one I've ever used needed a tweak with the heat to get right. Call Dick Spadaro, he will get you right.
My firewall is bolted as original (31 pickup), subrails and floor panels I rivited in as Ford did also and let me tell you they are tight. One...
