Going by the question, I didn't want to get into enlarging the pocket for the valves, but you are correct.
I don't mean to sound like a naysayer, but I think you will be surprised that there could still be crud in the water passages like mentioned...
He's in CA I believe
I'm really wrestling with this. I love the TRJ and have all of their issues. I respect that there a few folks trying to keep print media alive...
Same. I'm of the mindset that a listed price already has some build up on it. I think of it just like a swap meet; only online. I serious...
If you are concerned about rust and issues with using aluminum heads, I recommend the following products. First, if running water and not...
Same. I had to change to 180 degree stats for the 160's kept it too cool. A lot depends on the cleanliness of your block. If it hasn't been...
The Stromberg info cast into the side of the bowl on the opposite side of the "81" looks like it was sanded off before chroming.
Same. I bought two to have in "stock" for future builds. I also know Bill from Brother's Custom loves the L100 and even uses it in the Bean...
Literio 100 or Isky 1007B or Clay Smith 272-2 (This one has the lowest lift of the three) are excellent cams for what you are looking to do....
Agreed
Haha. Great write up and I'm glad you seem to have it sorted out. Odd about the overheating vs. the rod settings. These EM intakes sure are...
This car looks outrageous in bare metal. I can't wait to see it painted. It's going to be knockout and one for the ages. Incredible car and...
Trevorsworth, That is exactly how the Eddie Meyer intake in question works. There is a hollow casting under the carb risers. It has a water log...
Yes. The center "leg" of your top is mated to the base which is open to provide heat from the two small center ports on the block. The Eddie...
The intake in question is pictured in my avatar. I'll try to get better pictures. It's a two piece design and has a provision to allow hot...
Haha. Things sure do get loud inside a garage with an uncorked flathead. I have that same intake and I've been thinking and planning of a way...
This. Not a big deal and all and you can sell all those open drive parts for around $175-$200 since you have the yoke.
I agree with you that those measurements are incorrect. No way a complete flathead is 1" longer than a complete SBF with water pump. Every SBF...
Going by your last line of the post, an early SBC seems to me to be pretty much made for this application and has been done countless of other...
Does your '32 have the original "heavy" axle? Hard to beat that one. Can have it dropped to retain the stock width or pinched in a bit....
Same. Works great. I got the one with a metal case since it sits under the seat on the pan. A little extra insurance.
Awesome. Glad you got that out of the way. Good luck with the rebuild. If you or anyone else is interested, here are two nice valve bars for...
If things are clean & not carboned up, yes. Sometimes, and it sounds like the OP is having this issue, the carbon "glues" the guide in and they...
I believe the side shifts were diamond tooth, but the light duty three speed top loaders in the '48-'51 trucks were still the early toothed...
Blocks are identical to car except, I believe trucks still received hardened seats when they started to get phased out in cars. By '53, car...
When they are really stuck, two ways I've found to be successful. 1st: If you are good with the red wrench, torch them in half. 2nd: If you...
I raced in TROG this past Oct. Plenty of young bloods running hot rods and hot bikes at that event.
I would have to think Charlie could figure it out. He converted an early OHV Cadillac fuel pump to flathead for me. It works great in that it's...
Killer!
