The water pump block off plates were originally for blocking off the water pump holes if you were running '32-'36 high water pump heads on a '37...
The only change I made to the cage was to move the top hoop above my knees front a few inches. This gave me a little more leg room when getting...
Well finally I'll get around to a small update. <O:p Some of the things I've been working on shown in the pics is mounting for the hydraulic...
I'm interested to here the thought on SCAT vs. Merc crank as well. Also general thoughts of these in a naturally aspirated plain gas engine. I...
best vertical pic i could take while still in the shed
f350 fenders are the same as 100 & 250's if the truck was originally equipped with 16" wheels. If the truck came with 17" wheels the fenders have...
Tank is 300 gallon Navy MK-8 13'6" long & 30" dia. at the widest point. Seem to be used most on navy planes at the end of WWII and just after....
Thanks for the comments. Lakester in the basement, nothing wrong with that. It's just that much closer to work on.
Straightpipes - you planning for a Wed & Thur again for Hershey? So finally I have something to update, although it is mostly a redo of the...
The answer is flathead, always flathead.
So have you got that thing going yet, or still cleaning it up?
i think lonewolf is right, i checked my hexagon and spacing is 5" center to center of carbs. I don't remember the offy spacing but pretty sure it...
I guess it's about time for a quick update. Not much progress recently, replaced the rear crossmember and have the gas tank mounted. Also have...
Straightpipes, I know you had to spot the token Fordson in the pictures, don't disappoint me!
Here are some pics off the Hookers. After looking under the car I remembered the notch was for the first set of headers. For these with the 6 bolt...
I'll take some pictures and post this evening. I have a 6 bolt bell 289 with a cast iron truck bellhousing & t-10 from a 64 fairlane. If I...
I have the hooker 6134 super comps on my 63 fairlane. They fit very well with stock shock towers, I can take a picture if you want.
If you don't need the overdrive, 51-52 F-4 thru F-6 had an optional synchronized 4 speed that should drop right in place.
Current work is on the pedals, also tore apart the entire front end to get ready to start welding. The pedal assembly main plates will be welded...
The frame will not be boxed but there will be gussets or pieces of tube in the c-channel where the tubes meet to keep the c-channel from crushing....
Exactly correct on taking the rear axle off. C-channel welded to rear slips over frame and bolts fast.
I've sat in mine on quite a few occassions and made some engine noises, never gets old. The flathead in the pictures is pretty much junk holding...
The tank itself will hold about 9 1/2 to 10 gallons, hopefully this will be enough. I may have enough room for two saddle tanks on each side of...
Here are couple of new pics. Slow progress but gathered some more pieces of the Hilborn, working on getting the main water tank fit in place. The...
Some of the big trucks & custom cabs 53-55 were factory 12V. We have a 55 F-750 that was 12V from original.
The plan as of now is to be ready for Bonneville in 2010, it's a long trip and I want to be ready. Wasn't sure about trying it out at Maxton,...
Thanks for the compliments! Yes, those are cheap angle brackets and hose clamps from the hardware store holding the tubes together. I got a lot...
I've sent some picures of my bellytank to a few guys and thought it was about time I start a thread of my build for all to see. My work is slow...
Thanks to all for the input. Bruce, I think you are correct with the big spline toploader. I have been searching for such a thing but have yet...
Anybody out there running an early ford three speed with some type of hydraulic throwout bearing? If so what brand. Thanks.
