[ATTACH] 8BA powered 41
Turning 3500 @65, 39 toploader pulling 3:78 banjo. Love to know more about the volvo box!
IMHO.....The best bang for the buck is this combination; Bore it, cam it, Reds headers, electronic distributor. If you want to got deeper into...
I'm glad some of you enjoyed my typo. Thank you for those who tried to help. Turns out it is a Offenhauser triple intake for a 37-52 Chevrolet in...

Welcome!!! My dad passed away in 1988. He not only "got it" but drove the tow vehicle that pulled my 1st car home on the end of a logging chain....
Thanks John.. My 390 has vacuum secondaries. I agree I am too lean so I plan to back off the secondaries a little and try tuning by the vacuum gauge.

thanks everyone..... I am now trying to find a 11 tooth pinion from an open banjo. What I "dug up" is a 4:11.. BTW we have several torque tube...
Dug up this open banjo today (literally). Can I remove the tube and bolt the yoke to the banjo on my 41 pickup ? What else is involved ? Thanks.
Others have said it better than I can. Don't settle for what you don't want. You mentioned you are an engineer. DO YOUR RESEARCH. In the past I...
The specs say 4 quarts, but I added a "fuller flow" filter system used by the Flathead racers in the area. Do I add the capacity of the filter and...

Anybody know the thread on the tie rod ends?:confused:
I must confess I did not read all the preceding wisdom. So understand I may be restating things: I put a 39 top-loader behind a 8BA in my 41...
Went last year. Worth the trip!
Looks like the pictures didn't make it from the barn. My turtle only has one number (19) which I believe crosses to a 3:78. I assumed that was...
