barnfind08, Do you happen to have a phone number or email address for Berj? Name of his business? Thanks, CKH...

Not to hi-jack this thread, but does anyone have contact info for a man named Berg. I don't know if that is his first or last name, and I think he lives in the north east somewhere. I'm pretty sure he has a '32 3-window. He used to have some NOS and excellant used parts for sale. I need to talk...

Thanks to all for your replies. You have now given me the info I need. I bought this block several years ago and had it magged, head surfaces, pan rails etc. No cracks anywhere. The next step will be a sonic test which I should be able to have done locally in Las Vegas where I live. If the sonic...

Thanks for the replies. I bought this block (not an LB) some time ago. It had ben freshly bored .060 over stock. I haven't had it sonic tested yet. Assuming there is no core shift, is .060 over stock pushing the limit?

After a sonic test showing uniform wall thickness, what is the maximum safe overbore on a 35-36 block? Thanks, CKH

Thanks KiWinUS nd Ggmac. That's just the info I needed. Went through the hassle of having the babbit replaced in an early 36. Never again! CKH

I believe FoMoCo changed main bearings from babbit to inserts at some point in 1937. Is this correct? If so, what was the last engine # that had babbit bearings? All replys appreciated. Thanks...

I found the hose kit that Sacramento Vintage Ford lists for 1935-36 car w/37-48 engine, which their website says they are sold out of, on ebay. The pictures in the listing look very similar to the hose kit for a 32 Ford w/37-48 engine with stock fan. It was the only listing the seller had that...

One final reply. According to Sacramento Vintage Ford Parts website, they are sold out of the following hose kits. 32 w/37-48 engine & stock fan. 33-34 w/37-48 engine, and 35-36 w/37-48 engine. C&G Ford Parts website shows the same kits, (also sold out) only with different part #'s. So all must...

Flathead Fever, Most of the parts at the parts stores where I live are foreign made, and the kids working behind the counter only know what the computer tells them. I will search the internet for Dayco catalogs as you suggested...

Petehoovie, I clicked on the link to Sacramento Vintage Ford and the hoses pictured in your reply are for cars w/electric fans. The hose kit for 32's w/stock fans are listed as "Not available at this time". I'm going to call them to see when/if they will have more. It's...

OLDMANKOHOUT, Thanks a lot for your reply. I'll check their website or call them on the phone. These look a lot like the ones that Auliz was selling. While looking on the HAMB at pictures members had posted from the L A Roadster show I saw several cars with hoses...

Thanks to all of you for your replies. I sent Auliz a PM a couple of days ago on the HAMB and did not hear back. This morning I got on his thread on the HAMB as he is building a 5-window with a blown flathead. I asked him about the hoses and he said he had sold out of the upper hoses a long time...

Thanks to all who have replied. I tried to email Auliz per his email address on the Hamb but for some reason it would not go through. Some of his posts on the HAMB indicated he may not have these hoses made any longer due to the expense. I'm going to send a PM and see if I he replys back...

I'm puting a '37 21 stud engine (water pumps in block) in a 32 ford. I recall someone having lower radiator hoses made to put '37 and later engines 32's. I believe it was someone from a foreign country. England, Australia, Sweden? Can anyone on the Ford Barn be of any help?
