Can you please call me or message me asap? Thanks, matt

Thanks for the help guys.....I'm gonna message JWL :)

Can someone help me out? My computer crashed and I lost a bunch of information!!! I used to have a mechanical drawing of the front of a flathead engine that had all the internal dimensions on it and such, does any one have some good pictures like this? Specifically I'm in need of the dimension...

My shop is new to the body and paint thing. I have been building flatheads and Arduns for 25 years and have a great parts collection and good sources for parts. But.....since expanding into doing body & paint I find myself starting to look around for good places to buy reproduction panels and so...

Not to stir the pot here.... But isn't it funny what people do? Someone asked nicely for people to post pictures of related tattoos. Almost every single post except one was an opinion one way or the other about tattoos!!! Correct me if I'm wrong, but the thread was supposed to be about pictures...

I'm fairly local to you and do many early Ford engines each year. I also do an insert main conversion for the 32-36 engines if you're interested in not going the babbit route? Contact me and feel free to stop by the shop anytime!!! I have a 35 I'm working on right now with the block almost ready...

Thanks for all the help guys!!!

I'm an Offy dealer. Contact me for prices :)

I have a 49 Merc in right now that's leaking out the OD solenoid unit. I am not too familiar with OD units. Is this a typical issue and how hard is it to fix? Any input welcome :) Thanks!!!

Rob, You can mount it w/o the oil pan on. I have built many this way with zero issues. I'm not saying that it CAN'T be a problem....just that I have never had it be a problem. Matt

Are they the same as 1935?

Rich at Antique Engine Rebuilding no long offers that service. I'm still looking for a way to rebuild this 35 engine I have..... Anymore ideas boys & girls????

Thanks for the help guys!!! Tom.....I spoke with him today at the swap meet, he said he doesn't do that anymore.....

I find myself in need of someone to help me out with a 1935 engine I'm building for a customer. I have not built a 21 stud engine in YEARS!!! LOL Is there anyone in the Chicago area that does babbitt work on these? Any other helpful information would be much appreciated :) Thanks Ford Barn!!!! :)
