Not exactly true. '61-'63 Fords had 2 motor mount holes approximately centered above and below the freeze plug. In '64 and later, the motor...
Number of cylinders plus displacement per cylinder. Possible number of cylinders: 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 16. Possible displacements: 53, 71, 92,...
The first picture looks like the early Fram bypass filter. I believe the element is Fram part number C4P. Any parts store should be able to...
Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App! If your plugs are sooty and you are absolutely certain timing is correct, I suspect the plugs are...
N series Ford tractor engine used in Ford trucks, 1941-42
Nope! John Deere. Probably a GP, but could be a D, or even an unstyled AR.
Don't blame you for that, but for most flatheads, 6 cylinders, and bangers, they are plenty strong, available cheaply, and almost always have a...
Not true. The '83 & '84 Mustangs were equipped with a NWC T5 with 2.95:1 1st gear. I have one that was wiped out. I'm thinking I can repair it...
Not true. Maximum bending moment occurs between the spring perch holes and is constant from hole to hole. However, shear stress between the...
Kanter lists pistons plus just about everything else you would need to freshen up that motor. Possibly other sources that I am not aware of....
If it dies as soon as you release the switch from the start position, you have an open ballast resistor. Good luck.
Well, it's just my guess, but doesn't the "MCF" suggest Motor City Flathead
I may be incorrect, but I believe the steering shaft is one piece. You will need to remove the steering wheel and associated parts before you can...
Same here.
Available first gear ratios for the T5 range from 4.03:1 to 2.95:1. When making observations regarding a "short" first gear in combination with a...
I have the same recollection, except what I remember was my 1988 Ford van. I recall that it had a pretty traditional looking steering column with...
Here's a 312 block on the auction site: 370993343832
292's and 312's are all pretty much machined from the same block castings. The differences are in the final maching. The 312 block is machined...
True, but I really didn't consider the pre '48 flatheads. If you include them, then you get into crab vs. diving bell distributors and that...
I think the small block Mopar is also a clockwise distributor rotation.
Doesn't the distributor rotate clockwise on the flathead also? I think this is why the Chevrolet distributor is a popular conversion distributor...
My '93 Dodge extended cab truck has jump seats on each side in the back. The backrest pad mounts to the side of the cab and the seat bottom folds...
Nope. 360 has 3.5 stroke like a 352 and your measurement difference will always be the stroke regardless of how far in the hole the pistons are....
I suggest a compression test followed by a leak down test to confirm your suspicions. However, I think you're are probably correct. A broken or...
I agree with FrozenMerc. However, be aware that the car transmissions for V8 engines were slightly different than the truck V8 transmissions....
Dang. Looks like an early Sunbeam Alpine hardtop. I've been searching high and low for one of those that I could afford. You guys have all the...
I always just used a straight metric conversion: 6:00 (6 inches wide - yeah, I know, not exact but close enough) X 25.6 mm/inch = 152.4 Use 155 R 16.
Shoe box Ford Club Coupes had rear windows that swing out. Note: business coupes had fixed windows, so you need the upscale Club Coupe. These...
