Thanks for all replies
I get it. When I built my flathead I had intended to put it in a 31 p/u that I had parts for. Once I invested the money in the motor I wasn't as...
ideally this is a great engine for your build. 52 would be an 8BA and features the largest bore for the flatly as well as insert bearings. The 8ba...
Getting ready to assemble a 32 chassis with a banjo rear. Would like to eventually install a quick change center like the one from rodsville. My...
Never had any dealings with him. When I built my flathead I ordered some hard parts from Mike at H&H and had a good experience.
Thanks for all the replies. My gut told me they were toast the moment I saw them. The more I look the more cracked they get. These won't see the...
The holes are for the lugs and have been stressed from overtightning and age/use. Is this a major issue?

They are Early Ford Steel wheels.
Just got some 16x 4 wheels for the front end of my project. After sandblasting I have found hairline cracks on the backside of the lug nut holes....
I'll take 5 of those 97's. My intake cost has increased 5x...the Stromberg 22x.
Does this require any mods to the input shaft. Is the diameter right for throw out bearing? Thanks
After checking with many manufacturers of the adapters for the 49-up bellhousing it seems that the input shaft length is an issue. Was told I may...
Looks like cornhuskers is the way to go.
Thanks
Most of the adapters I have found for a ford bolt pattern are for the mustang t5 which has a different input shaft length.
I have an 8ba bellhousing that could be modified and I also have the truck adapter for the bellhousing style adapters. Anyone use a stock...
Ok, I am well aware of all the posts on the t-5 swaps. That said, prior to reading everyone of these, I purchased a t5 out of a 1996 s-10. It has...
I'm using a model a axle dropped by Fuller with a set of F-1 brakes. Most likely tie em in with 36 split bones b/c the model a bones are a too...
Hoods on roadsters have been growing on me lately, but in this case I like no hood! Roll On!
I have read the posts regarding using 80 bronco rears and I know van pelts sells a new drum as well. Would like to use what I have as long as they...
Just picked up a nice set of f-1 (not 100) front brakes. All components in good shape. Does anyone know what the allowable run out or minimum drum...
I have a 53-56 f-100 column to use on my model a project (32 rails) and am curious as to wether or not I can use a 40 ford style re pop wheel? Ant...
So sorry for your loss. I am 33 yrs. old and losing my dad is my greatest fear.
Your original post states you have no seals on the intake valves. Intake valves should have seals...no seals on the exhaust side.
Is it either desirable or undesirable because of the sway bar mounts? Any reason you wouldn't use it on a roadster?
I purchased this banjo rear a while back. I was told it was a forty. The axles measure about 32 and 7/8 so according to the tardell book it should...
I really like this build! I will definitely be considering that t-5 mount for my own project. Thanks for sharing!
Vega boxes are good for cross steer not so usually for traditional. Last issue of r and c has one upside down on a dropped 32 frame but the pitman...
