4.50-19 front, 5.25/5.50-19 rear.
Started by completely rewiring it and making it work, new tyres, fix up the suspension and brakes enough to be able to drive and enjoy it. Now...
Thanks. It's an ongoing project. Trying to keep it running as much as I can and enjoy it as I go. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Flywheel is easily repairable, new ring gear would be sensible, but may or may not be financially worthwhile if you're paying someone else.
Make up some oversized valve seats and press them in. Many machine shops might not want to take it on due to the time/effort/risk, but anything is...
Finally got around to machining the back of my flywheel. Been sidetracked on other jobs.[ATTACH]
Awesome! What head is that?
Agree with all the above. A good general rule is that if it's fine when moving but gets hot when stopped/in traffic, then the primary issue is air...
Wasn't after one, but maybe interested... What are you wanting for it, and what else would I need?
Yep. Was entered myself, but didn't get the car back together in time. I've been machining the flywheel today.: [ATTACH]

Man, what a build, and what a thread! Getting towards the home stretch now. Have read the whole thread over the last few days, great work and...
Looking good! Great metal work. I dread doing the same on mine when I eventually want some nice paint... It's pretty rough.
Looking good!
Oh man, what a rollercoaster! I have read this thread over the past few days. Beautiful work and a great looking build. You've certainly had some...
Thanks!
Cool build! I have a 331 hemi slated for my Model A, one day... Enjoying playing with and building up the banger at the moment.
I ended up pulling the engine to finish porting the intakes. Then when that was complete I started cleaning up the exhaust valve seats, and found...
Thanks! Yeh I'm cautious about that. The shape around the valve guide was pretty horrendous, and that's obviously a solid part, so I did a fair...
Thankyou so much! That's awesome... And luckily enough lines up very well with exactly what I've done so far. I really hadn't found anything after...
Thanks! I don't have any broken head studs though, I just removed some of them? I had huge difficulty getting them out 12 months ago when I first...
Great work on this! Love the ingenuity. Beautiful work on the dash and manifold.
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] A few pics of my coupe. It's a work in progress... Engine is currently pulled apart, I am doing some...
The finished number 1 intake, unless someone can tell me what to improve? Please keep in mind that I have no idea what I'm doing, all ideas and...
Here's some pictures of my work on the first intake port. Still needs a bit more cleanup and some more valve seat work. Any thoughts/suggestions?...
Long time lurker... I'm currently hopping up the banger in my Model A. I've been searching without luck, does anyone have any information on...
I know this is an old post, but thanks so much for this... Had the front spring pulled out to replace it, with a new shackle kit, when I...
Awesome build.
Been reading through this thread over a number of days. Amazing build! Love all the details. Can't wait to see it completed.
Nice! I like it a lot.
