Bump, make an offer on any of it.
WoW! all I can say is that it reminds me of the old saying, "anyone can restore an old car, but it takes a Man to cut one up!" I guess we can now...
While it's good to see someone messing around with a Flat cad motor, I need more info. Are you building a motor for something? Just asking because...
So you have two starters and neither one works well, right? With all the expense you all will have with building a car, I would try to do what you...
Wow, that's a lot of metal work! Thanks to all who posted
Bump to the top
I have not removed the rod cap but it is so loose that I'm sure the rod itself is damaged
Bird man, thanks for the input. I have also found that the damper is even different depending on if the car had a Hydromatic or manual trans, I...
Thanks Weedburner, I just did that.

No flat Cadillac love out there? I'll bump this to the top just to try again.
I have a '37 Cadillac with the stock engine and really like it so I would not mind having a hot rod with a flat Cad motor. A while ago I picked up...
@gdrummer , where are you located? I have a reamer and while I have only done a couple spindles, if you are close, we could knock this out quickly.
good call, I bet you will be happy you did.
Wow, That could have been so much worse, glad you are ok.
Another 8BA motor I got had a dead mouse in the lifter valley but no way that one was going to ever run....It's now a table base at my son's...
Mac, thanks for the tip
What about the ring gears? do they interchange between the 59A flywheels and the 8AB flywheels? I think the 2nd 8AB flywheel I have has a bad ring...
Thanks RMR&C, I never knew that. I do still have the flywheel and I have another one that came off of another 8BA so I can compare after I dig it...
Last time I tried that I broke an axle key...... My fault, the nuts were not very tight, after lapping the side that broke and torquing, I may be...
A few years ago I picked up an 8BA motor and just last week I started taking it apart to see what I got. When I removed the crank I took it out...
+1 on using a serpentine belt, that was the best thing I did to my 9' South Bend. The only bad thing about buying your first lathe is now you will...
Thanks, I did not think of screwing it in a threaded hole.. I'll have to go down to the garage and see what holes would work.
On an engine with a cast iron block and heads with an aluminum intake and brass radiator should some type of anode be used in the radiator to...
Thanks all for the ideas, I have searched the internet and the best I have found is other guys looking of the same info. Mac Tools was no help...
Yes, DMV is the worst, just think of it, Dmv is so bad that it gave birth to a whole new industry, the private Tag/Title company. Just think of...
Does anyone have a user manual for a Mac Tools ET985 dwell meter/tach/engine analyzer ? I picked up one at a swap meet and it does not have the...
Maybe, but.... I guess the final ratio is what is important here, how much petal movement to how much fluid is moved. But here comes the but...
I would get the 2nd block checked out and if it needs less work/money to get it running use it. About the value issue, save the original block so...
Is that not what I said? the switch is closed when the belt/latch is not latched? I'm very sorry but I just want to understand. Maybe we are not...
