An old thread on this specific subject. Most of the images still seem to be active....
It will be a challenge, but I think you may be able to get it done with a 16" x 21" cooler. Maximize the airflow through the cooler and engine...
You might as well be asking why the sky is green. Details Please. Pictures help. What is mildly built, hp expectations, transmission, AC, etc.?...
Don't cobble, just fabricate a proper new crossmember or modify the existing. Square tubing and a bit of plate should make it easy. Use the '72...
Other than a Cruis-O is non-overdrive, there isn't too many down sides. They are strong and robust. The only other issue is rebuild parts are...
I would think it is likely a ground issue. Something is causing a bit more resistance than the system is designed for. The extra resistance...
The laws of physics are just that, laws, not suggestions. Even at 100% efficiency, it still takes 35 to 45 hp (ballpark from memory, I did not...
Pictures would help a lot!
Debated going and getting this one myself, but alas, I don't need any more projects.......
I get a chuckle of out of you guys whining about budgets. This is the HAMB, where we are very fond of Ford Flatheads, or otherwise known as the...
The BW 3 spd+OD may have been an option in late 55/56 Fullsize Packards, but I think it was pretty rare. Worst case, you have to create an...

Ford FE's aren't Big Blocks. They are Medium blocks at best. MEL's and 385 Lima's (429 / 460) are Ford big blocks, and the Super Duty V8's are...
Yes, as I stated, it is a 3D printed mold. As far as the tolerances, I would say they are as good if not better than typical cope and drag sand...
Yep, Just finished up a project with FECoffin were we casted up a pair of Ford MEL blower intake manifolds using 3D printed molds. The cast...
I made the fuel tank for my '62 Mercury Monterey Wagon as the original was destroyed, and no one re-pops wagon tanks. I used 18 ga cold rolled...

Yep, looks like I mathed my math wrong and it should have been 0.040" off the top, much more feasible than 0.070". I corrected my previous post....
The value is in the core, not in the scrap. That said, scrap cast iron typically goes for $100 to $150 per ton. I would offer him a couple of...
302GMC is spot on. Yes they can be re-sharpened. The challenge is resharpening them without affecting the cutting geometry.
How is your fluid level?
Just because this is the HAMB, I understand forced induction helps in these matters quite a bit..... We ran a fleet of 454 powered Duallies at a...
Pickup truck, or Truck Truck??? I have one of each, though the '51 is currently disassembled. [img] 1960 Ford C700 (and my next project...) [img]
