Good question, I was never able to find a contact number or better yet an e-mail address so I can show them these pics. I appreciate all the...
I wonder if it can still be done after the coolant has contaminated the pores. Do you end up with a layer of loctite over the entire piece...
Yeah more than I would of had to on a quality casting, but I estimate the thickness removed was less than a four sheets of paper thick
Unless they use some sealing method after casting, I bet they would leak even if I didn’t polish them. It's just irritating that I have to spend...
Yeah, I polished them myself. What a horrible job, I've never seen castings so rough before.
No need to go anywhere else. Lots of excellent build threads here.
During break in of my flatty I noticed a puddle forming under my car. It didn’t take long to notice where it was coming from, my brand new...
I have a couple Stromberg 48 cores I was thinking about putting on my flathead, but I worried it will be too many CFMs. My engine: 221 bored to...
Lots of cool hot rods on this thread, I'm such a sucker for A and T coupes. Last week, I drove mine around the block for the first time, but...
Good to know they're not crap. I'm going to try one.
Bump - still curious.
I don't want to diverge too much from the OP original question but I got to ask, will these pre-war 239 blocks take a bigger bore than the...
Truck and Merc blocks had the larger bore those years. You should be fine with 60 over. I have a '41 Merc block sitting in my garage and its...

You can also re-position the box further back on the frame. Then just shorten the steering shaft/column, and install a new, longer drag link....
What about Buckeye brand? I've had one in my shop, and its always stayed in the green. I've been looking at their 5 pounder with the vehicle...
If your good with a torch you can build your own. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=378966&highlight=building+radiator...
I like it...a lot! A pure hot rod.
Yes, you need the rear support, and output shaft off the '42-50 ford truck 3-speeds....
Thats the best homemade puller I've seen. I wish I'd seen this last week, before I bought an ebay puller. I haven't had much luck with it.
Dude your awesome! Thanks for the info. If this really is the Mark IV model its too bad the original forks are gone.:( It probably ended up...
I just got this for free (like I really need another project :rolleyes:). Can anyone identify it? [IMG] [IMG]

Mmm...tasty!
Sorry, I don't have any measurements, but I think you can use stock '32 motor mounts on the 8ba. They still have the mounting bosses on the front...
That picture is awesome!
Post some pictures if you can.
