So I guess the revolutions counter was reset during the rebuild. That would explain it's fresh condition then if it was rebuilt in '92. Still,...
It looks like it was assembled in July 1992 even though the casting was already 5 years old at the time. [ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G935F using The...
I friend of mine bought 30 of them. Ex French military. I paid just over 3K for it. Which is great for a nearly new 4" engine. Sent from my...
I think I'm going to use the original intake manifold. It's aluminium but has a 4 bolt carb base. I've offered up a 4 bolt Lincoln Zephyr carb and...
I just removed the intake. Looks like brand new inside. Looks like someone has worked on the intake runners to improve flow.[ATTACH][ATTACH] Sent...
So it would appear the engine has done just 622,000 revolutions in total. Which at 1000rpm average means just over 10 hours. It certainly looks it...
That's the way it was built. It's stock with just 311 hours on it. And it does have the 4" crank. It's built for torque so maybe it doesn't breath...
Stock bore and 4" stroke. Sent from my SM-G935F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I got the first head off. No ridge or scoring in the cylinders. Valves look clean. This looks like the low hours on this are...
I'm hoping it's a 4". Yes I've got a 59AB pan for it. Sent from my SM-G935F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I've just picked up a nice 30 year old flathead V8 for my next project. It's a French Simca Marmon (Ford) flathead V8 cast in March 1987. It came...
Yes I've got the floor out. So yes I'll need to support the engine of course. Then just pull the transmission back and up land out eh? It's a...
I'm about to swap a 39 transmission into a 1936 Ford. As I have the rear axle out anyway I've figured I can remove the transmission with the...

1932 Ford Chassis in Europe. Original 1932 Ford K-member and rear crossmember. Model-A front crossmember with custom made engine mounts for a...
Oh wow. Yes that's it. What chassis is that? It looks like the Fiat. And any more details about transmission, rear axle etc. Sent from my...
Loads of cool stuff in Europe if you look. My buddy just found this Delage. [ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G935F using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
We are going to carefully remove everything we don't need from the 503 tourer and try and find a restorer who will put in back on a 503 chassis....
I'm embarking on my next project which is going to take me way outside my comfort zone, so I'm trusting in help and advice from those with...
I took the speedster out for a test run yesterday. Snake like road you'll never find in America but smooth as a billiard table. [MEDIA] Sent...
Now you've cut the axle the whole thing is junk anyway. My advice: convert to 1940 hubs and use Lincoln Bendix brakes all round with 1940 wheels....
Well you're doing it wrong and could bend your hubs or snap your drums. Pulling a wide five is a problem I admit. There are hub pullers which...
Well that story was written by Disney. Ford had manufacturing plants in Germany, France and England before and after the war. Flathead V8s were...
Ford cast Flatheads in Germany up until the 1960s. In France they were being cast by Simca up until the late 80s or early 90s. This was to fulfil...
