Nothing like Detroit diesel green[ATTACH][ATTACH]
Well I got a little fitment work done over the weekend. Just mock up kinda stuff. Trying to decide where to mount the motor and trans and how all...
Yes so far. Its kinda a tin woodie but hey i dont know what else to call it haha. I am not wood worker haha I'm glad its all flat panels
I also decided it needs to be a full fender car after seeing a woodie build with no fenders and personally not really liking the look. Hoping to...

Well its been a couple days since an update. Motor is overhauled. I decided to run edelbrock heads. I ran out of money there so I am going to sit...
Well[ATTACH]
I considered that but of all the battles to fight on this car i think new heads are in order.
I love when I do

Thats kinda what I have gathered. Flatheads are a trip. They take all the engine knowledge you have garnered over the years and all but throw it...
I came across these heads on ebay. They look nice their shop apparently in Illinois. Repop Evans heads for just over 1k does anyone run these?...
Thats kinda what I wondered. Especially in a middle of the road street build
I have heard castings on any of this stuff isn't what it used to be
I actually have a factory merc crank lucky enough.
I am definitely not worried. I know flattys come in horsepower per cubic dollar. But I just wondered if the performance gain was rather large or...
I am rebuilding an 8ba for my 31 ford. As I look at heads there's a lot to look at now and everyone points the finger at Navarro for being the...
Hey I gave 800 bucks for this parts chaser. I am with you ugly but functional has its place here[ATTACH]
