Hey Mart... I'm waiting for your premier:D

1.75 inch pipes, has some Walker glasspacks from Orielly's (IIRC 13 inches long) and Reds headers.

Howdy! Glad to hear you're getting some use out of that T9, I'm very much enjoying the lite-duty 3-speed I put in my F1. The transmission in my 31 HotRod is a BW T5 from a late 80s Chevy S-10 pickup. 5 speeds all synchronized and overdrive as well. Warmer here today, hopefully it's headed your way.

I've never tinkered on anything but the 8BA style flatead, I have to admit I like the look of the earlier engines distributor and upper rad hose placement. The 8BA is more more suited to the D-I-Yer

I'm a do-it-yourselfer when at all possible. I pressure washed it first, I have hot water available outside which helps a lot. Then scrub brushes and detergent, blow off with compressed air and hose down with WD-40 to stop flash rusting. Then wire-wheel on an air tool. Once I'm ready to...

It's taken a while but I finally have this C8BA back on the road. It got the old do-it-yourself rebuild. Taper was minimal so left the bore stock. I replaced all the valves, and installed Johnson lifters. I found a really nice 4 inch crank with a fresh .010/.010 grind. The cam and bearings all...

You might throw a torque wrench on the head bolts/nuts to to make sure they are properly tightened. Start with the simple stuff!

I watched this video a while ago. Installing a Flathead V8 in a Model A pickup with a bolt-in kit. https://youtu.be/QBUrzt9PUQg

I'd like to see pictures of how the combination of master cylinder, cross shaft, and pedal work together.

I suppose it matters what you want to end up with. If it's just a driver then finishing the hydraulic conversion is ok. Either can be made to function well. Any idea what the juice brakes came off of?

I live in an agricultural area where non-ethanol fuel is readily available, It's all I use... but it still sounds like a food idea. I think that's what killed this one.

Thanks!

I was hoping to rebuild this fuel-pump. The valves seem to be pressed in? Is this type still rebuild-able?

Look up Mart's garage on YouTube, he installed a different motor in his truck.

Gotta love a cool old truck. Thanks for the video, how about putting that camera in the cab and taking us for a ride!
