End application is a 8ba (49-53), I have two 8ba generators. So, basically just the front cover goes on the 12v generator? How about the pulley? I...
I know this is an old thread, but does anybody have the pictures from the first post? I am going to try and buy a 12v generator and mate it to my...
The frame was stretched 2" in the firewall to grill area. Mechanical fan. Firewall is stock, not cut at all.

What is the right way for pistons in a flathead? I am about to finish up an 8ba that is .060 over on cylinders and .010 on the crank, stock. This...
Any progress on this one?
Great, thanks. I like the way you did it by putting the cross member above. Do you have a poly/rubber mount or is it directly bolted to bracket...
Mr48Chev, thanks. can measure both input retainers to see if the S10 and Mustang are the same. I have the proper input coming because I have a...
Back to no available throw out bearing. I am going to use a stock flathead 3speed throw out bearing so it matches the stock flathead pressure...
I am using the car bell housing, from around 50 I guess. I am using the Modern Driveline adapter as well. [IMG] [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
OK, how do I install lighter springs on the 11" pressure plate? I am definitely interested in this. Would Mac's sell the springs or who? I can't...
OK, so I came to the realization yesterday that I messed up. I have an 8ba flatty that I am putting a T5 tranny to, hopefully soon. As I am wading...
Alright, talk to modern driveline and I need the 85-93 mustang input shaft and bearing retainer to work with their adapter. They also said a stock...
I know this has been beaten to death, but I have been reading T-5 threads and articles and have become more confused. I have a 8ba flathead,...
I am building an 8ba, slowly, very slowly, but I am in process. Joe Smith Early V8 is definitely a good shop and the owner is a good guy. I...
Jim, Any update on this build? How did the copper nickel tubing hold up?
This is a great thread. The pictures and explanation of tolerances, checking, solving problems... awesome. The ride sounds great even if it isn't...
Looks good. Which company is the dash from? I think the chop is perfect.
I sent him two beat up 97's, they needed a lot of work. He did a beautiful job and turned it around quick. I haven't run them yet, but I expect...
Perfect, thanks. What is the ball on the leg of the spoon for? Is it connected to something or is there a bumper for it? Doesn't look like it...
62pan, please post pictures. I am in the process of a putting a '32 4 cyl assembly in my model A. Mine will be for a flat head though, so maybe...
The question is, am I good to continue? I want to make sure these valves and seats are good before I continue with the build. Thanks for all...
I am not sure, aren't the intake valves 30 degrees? This is what I have... Let me know if I have the wrong intake valves. [IMG] [IMG]
I started lapping my valves and as usual, I have a question. How much of an area should have the grind mark on it for the valve seat? The...
I am finally in the assembly mode of the 8ba. It ended going .030 over on bore, and .010/010 on crank. I have a few questions. I have washed...
What is the consensus for the best T5? Taking a WC camaro/mustang and putting a S10 tailhousing on? Or just running an S10 T5 with mechanical...
Not the filler tube, the oil tube that goes from the front to the back of the block to the gear. It sits down at the bottom of the valley between...
I have the block all disassembled except for the oil tube that goes down the intake. Do I need to pull that tube out? If so, what is the best way...
I have the valve spring assemblies all out, connecting rod/pistons all out, and heads off. I still have the crank and camshaft in. My question...
Sounds great, nice stance.
