I’d do a leak down test, it will confirm you have good compression, leaky valves or make sure the valves are opening as you rotate the engine. Hopefully not a wiped cam.

Great video, thx for posting

Yea, the thick solid one goes in the bottom groove. There are so many opinions on to run the fourth one or not, it’s pretty much personal preference. I left them off my build. My thought was extra weight and drag. They felt heavy to me.

Looks really nice. Like the addition of the shoulder straps too.

For what it’s worth, I got a classic tube ss brake line kit for my 41. Very nice kit and the bends were spot on.

Heat gun to soften the rubber then some light grease might help you get it installed.

I would get some 45’s and run a shorter filter.

I thought this was a 40 pickup column bracket but the holes don’t like up with my dash. I can always drill a new hole so it’s more of curiosity. There is part number on the back but couldn’t find anything on a search. The main issue I’m having is the center shaft that locks and unlocks the...

Thanks for all the replies. I read them all last night and started searching 10” again. I found a good deal on a modern driveline billet flywheel & their diaphragm clutch and decided to go with that. I’m sure it’s overkill for a weekend coffee shop cruiser but my leg will be happy and was...

Hi, I’m building a 59a, 4” merc crank, 60 over with a 1007 b cam and will have a 39 3 speed. This is going in a 41 pickup that is going to be street driven. I have the flywheel that came with this engine when I bought it which is a 11” clutch. I read that they are too heavy though, that they are...

39 trans, closed driveline

If you’re running a sbf, a 3g is a great upgrade. I went from a power master that lasted a few years to a 3g. You’ll need to upgrade your charge wire though if running high amps. It is bigger too, I had to modify my brackets a little to make it fit. I also went with a slightly smaller pulley to...

Vacuum leak? Seems like the engine is not drawing the fuel. Replace intake gasket, carb gasket, check the mating surfaces. One of those smoke machines might find the leak as well.

Cool, trucks. Never seen these before. Thanks for sharing!
