Getting ready to do this myself. You need an adapter that raises the engine. the frame and water pump holes are also slightly out of alignment. The adapter addresses this also. The adapter is from Bob Drake. Part number 41A-6023. The front pulley may need to be cut down/modified to clear the...

Thanks for the info and the link

I'm trying to find a rear window garnish molding for my '34 5-window. A guy on the HAMB has one listed for sale but it is for a tudor sedan. Will it fit? If not, what will? I believe the 3-window and 5-window are the same, right??? Thanks

Good luck on the trip! Always wanted to take a long roadtrip in and old car but work and family have always prevented me from doing so. One more reason to look forward to retirement, I guess. Have a safe one and keep us posted.

I'd love more info and pics on this one. I would like to put a t5 in my '34 but don't want to split the bones. Any info/tips would be appreciated.

Here is mine. I just picked it up and am getting it back on the road from a number of years in storage. I'm very excited as I never thought I would own a "real steel" '34. Harms way - We still need to get together sometime. I'm only about an hour away from you and pass throught there a...

Re: '34 21 stud - no oil pressure **Update 7/17** Ok, I got the external coil wired up and installed a known good oil pressure gauge with new tubing running to it. I also filled the crankcase with 20-50 as suggested. Upon start up I got 16 lbs @ idle (about 650-700 rpms) and 26 lbs @ 2000...

Re: '34 21 stud - no oil pressure Here are a few pics. Don't mind the wheels, they're just a set I had laying around. I'm thinking of some black 16' spokes or some '40 Ford 16' done in black with trim rings and chrome lug nuts. The pic of the later flattie is an engine my friend has had...

Re: '34 21 stud - no oil pressure I really appreciate all the suggestions. It's gonna be a little while until I can check things further. I have to dig up another coil and get that mess sorted out first. One of the main reasons I am leaning toward giving up on the 21 stud is the lack of...

Re: '34 21 stud - no oil pressure The engine appears to have been rebuilt in '03. I'm trying to verify this with someone familiar with the car. Should know tomorrow. It was stored in a clean, dry pole building and there is no signs of rodent damage anywhere. Looks clean with some dry rot of...

Re: '34 21 stud - no oil pressure Thanks Gauge is older mechanical. I'm going swap it out for a known good one. I'll try the 20-50.

I just purchased a '34 five window that was restored in 2003. The owner passed away just has he was finishing the car. Since '03 the car has been started a few times a year and was driven in a parade in 2009. When I got the car home. I had to replace some fuel line before I could get the...
