Not all, just bought my first flathead block, 53 8ba. The guy I bought it from has a friend, Al Roth, that is supposed to be the area flathead...
My next door neighbor had an E/Gas 55 Chevy with a tube front axle, transverse leaf and hairpin wishbones. I've always wanted a street version of...
Check the exhaust system for blockage. A friend once bought a used Olds Cutlass, and while it idled well and ran great at low rpm, anytime you...
I like the split the difference one. It gives the rear of the top a nice sweeping double curve. The others make the rear to round and has to...
Well one things for sure, in this day and age there won't be anything else like it in the high school parking lot. As for the motor, the 216 is...
Yes you need to plug the hole. There is an oil passage that provided oil to lubricate the pump push rod. With out the push rod in there you have...
Be careful, it might not be that simple. Looks to me like there was metal shaved off and that means stripping the whole motor down to clean it...
Here's mine, Picked it up a couple of weeks ago and it's my daily driver. Paint is awful but the body is solid. Factory 289 and four speed. 9"...
I have to agree with the above posts. With the trans shimmed back, it's not supported like it's supposed to be when firmly bolted up against the...
Well it's obvious that the input shaft is constantly being turned even with the clutch pedal is depressed. Assuming that the whole swap is indeed...
My guess is it seizes from overheating before it gets 10 miles down the road. Air cooled aircraft engines have very exacting cowling and ducting...
Well lets try this again, guess the first one got lost or something. Just want to be another one to jump on the band wagon. Bill's service...
Pork, Am I correct in understanding the top end of the rev-o-meter for your Mark 1 Mod 0 hot rod flathead is about 4500? Scott
55 dude, No, just moving from the Battleground to Vancouver area. DocWatson, I love the look of the rake chop on the T, gives it that moving...
Yeah, I'm not looking for a fire breathing 8 sec machine, just enough to haze the tires now and again. It just seemed that compared to other...
Thanks again, the build thread is going to have to wait until later this year as it turned out we're going to have to move in Oct and I want to...
I've pretty much decided to go with a flathead in my 26 T coupe. One of the things that was holding me back was the lack of horsepower as...
61cad and 56don, The T in that link is exactly what I want my to be when finished (though still on the fence about the tire wheel combo) however...
Well big picture is a slight channel, just enough to hide the frame. Chop the top as much as possible (I'm 6'1"). Z the frame in the rear and...
Houston the coupe has landed. Bill of Nationwide Vehicle Transport (aka Santa Claus) delivered this to my front door today. Thanks to Bill and...
Try this http://www.brasscraft.com/pdf/0302_brass_fittings_catalog.pdf Starting on page 7 you'll find reducing unions and male and female...
Why is it that when people think about replacing the stock engine in an old Ford the first thing that comes to mind is a SBC? I guess that most...
As a quick check, take two of the lifters and hold them together bottom end (the end that rides on the cam lobe) to bottom end and hold them up to...
Thanks for the input guys, more grist for the mill. Scott
While waiting for my T coupe project to arrive from Idaho, I've been studying everything I can find about building a traditional hot rod. It...
You might want to rethink the MIA/POW flag. According to USC Title 36 Chap. Ten, (the law that outlines the rules and etiquette for display of...
Didn't even read it, I've already seen it. Although that's the word they use, it's not being subsidized, it's a case where the U.P. (the other...
Goodyear built the F4u Corsair under license from Chance-Vought. And Packard made the Merlin V-12 for the P-51 Mustangs. Did he tell you how...
Rattle Trap, Before you call BS on someone you really should do some research. First, the freight railroads in this country have never been...
Welcome to what is currently the number one complaint of every HR manager in corporate America today, attendance. Want an easy answer hire...
