Mac's has a heavy duty puller. It's well worth the money the first time you use it....
Haha … some people just take this stuff too seriously. Probably the most important thing is to maximize your time on the road and minimize...
The 4.50 run perfect on 4" rims. They wear even and look sweet with no bulge. Gives the skinny up front look, if that's what you want.
Ha ..... you guessed it! Trator flapper from Tractor Supply. They really count the cylinders off with an Isky 400 Jr cam at idle. Yes SS flex...
Like this? 2" 309 SS all the way back. No mufflers at all, it's not that loud since flathead compression is relatively low compared to other...
Kinda hard to tell exactly what's going on from only one picture, sure looks bent. So not a FED, what is it then a sand dragster or something?
Yes, the bottom rails should be straight, it obviously took a hard hit. It depends on what you are going to do with it. I would not be too quick...
"Flivver" - now that's Kool! Tell your grandmom thanks for the history lesson. Best part is, that's something you will always remember about her.:)
Torque tube and drive shaft will need to be shortened by about 19" Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Yep, need earlier water pumps for mounts, 3 speed ford trans will work with either, use 39 trans or there abouts Posted using the Full Custom...
Start with the running engine, then when your on the road you can take time to check out the hurt motor. Both will run on 12v if you use ballast...
I also located one this weekend while thinking about you post. The inside of the tubes have spiral type baffles - very interesting.
So this takes you on to the next challenge – the front seal. The original version is the two piece rope type. The sleeve on the crankshaft...
Compression: That's a 25% difference in one cylinder only. Might be worth looking into. Could be a vavle, but if it's a ring or cylinder problem,...
This is the same way i did it, minus the oil bath breather. Since I am running an 8BA there is no outlet to block at the pan, but that sure sounds...
"............ I would first give the engine a cylinder leak and compression test. If you find excessive blowby and are not prepared to rebuild you...
Flathead beacuse they look cool and there is no other sound like it. [IMG]
I also cut about 1/2" off the top of the manifold boss to clear alternator underside. Thus lowered the whole rig about that amount. Will take and...
Bingo! We are all running into the same issues. Made slot a little longer and added stiffener accross old fan mount bolt holes. I trimmed fan to...

The bracket is from Speedway, they make them for 59AB or 8BA. Pully is Offy also from Speedway. Fan is early Ford V8 trimmed down to 13" dia. Had...
Thanks much, just completed the finishing touches this weekend. Broke in the cam and put about 30 miles on it Saturday. It was in the 30's here,...

Agreed - minor issue, was just seeing what u guys have done.
Thanks, this should result in core just covered when running like when i had a stock filler on top.
Thanks, that's kind of what I figured, but asked anyhow.
Radio? ....... haha. Who needs a radio when if you got a hot motor to listen to, that should be music to any car guy's ears. But, too each his...
I'm running a Griffin aluminum radiator Part no. 7-00085 in my 30' A with a flathead. The radiator has a "hot rod" style filler neck that is an...
