What would be the stock from the factory engine in the '48 Sportsman. Looking at one with the 59AB. Is this correct?

I would think you would want to get some miles on her to identify any problems. Check the brake lining, for sure.

Man, what a great story! You are very lucky to have this car--a car that a lot of us would cherish. I would just go slow, realize this is a long term project, it's going to be a few years before you drive it, and enjoy the work along the way, thinking about and sharing with your heritage...

We're still shaking our heads too. Maybe it was dropped before installed. ??? Ok, back to the original question, where would you go now? Thanks for any ideas, we really don't want to start all over, but...........?

Bert doesn't like to do "partial" rebuilds and we are trying to respect that. We would rather not tear into the upper end at this time though, as miles since rebuild are low and all looks good up there. I just hate to tear the entire engine down for a rebuild unless it is absolutely...

Trying to help out a friend without computer or tech knowledge. Model B engine. Not many miles on rebuild. Valves, pistons, rings are all looking good. Crank is broken just inside the rear flange. So now, since we need a new crank should we just get a whole engine with crank, or try to...

Bubba, how do we contact you?...slim

Pretty annoying. I tried to send him an email using the email addy shown on his website and it comes back "undeliverable". Seems like he's been hacked.

Bubba, I think someone has hijacked your Phone #. When I dial it I get offers to free garbage and no link to you...you better check it out...slim

I donno if this will help you much--pics aren't very good. The upper tailgate has a resessed area at the top of the jam to accept the two hinges. I have mine set up with gas shocks for openers. Hope this helps...slim

I have, what I believe, is a stuck valve in my 8BA flattie. Last fall, when moving the car from one garage bay to another, it ran really rough when it started, needing a LOT of throttle and sounded like it was hitting on only a few cylinders. Needing to take care of other more important...
