Mike, we really enjoyed it..might go back sometime this summer when it's not so crowded...we drove the A, AKA Anita.

They are on 35 Ford wheels. They ride and handle good. We drove it to the Gilmore ModelA museum opening. I have a V8 flat head engine in it.

I have a 1931 coupe with 16 inch wheels, tire size 195 by 80 R16s, approximately 28 inches tall. Rear end ratio is 378. I have a 19 tooth gear which I think will be a little slow. Do you think 20 or 21 would be better ?:confused: Thanks, Hank

I like FelPro also, but they don't make copper one for a B head. I prefer copper, but I may have to go with the silicone. Snyders said you have to use a B style gasket with their 6:1 head. I think it is because the area in the head is cut back for the bigger valves.

I've use two silicone gaskets and one blew after 4 miles and the other was ready to blow @ 300 miles. It was blowing water out the over flow.

I can't seem to find a copper head gasket for a B engine with a 6:1 Snyder head. They say you have to use a B head gasket and I'm not fond of the silicone gasket. What would you guys recommend using? TIA Hank/MI

Does anyone know the number for a Felpro head gasket for a B engine? TIA Hank/MI

@Ron, that was the condition of the bore when I bought the engine. Didn't realize it until I started it. It's just a junk diamond B engine. I purchased a reamer from mcmaster carr tonight. So we will see how that works out. Thanks for all the replys

What can a person do when the lifter holes in the block are worn oblong? You can only buy 5/1000 over and I have about 25 over. Do you bore it and sleeve it? Any suggestions? TIA Hank

I just purchased another coupe, it came with an additional new top and aluminum moldings, but no instructions on how to install the top. Just wondering if there might be a manual somewhere on the net or a book that I could purchase. TIA, Hank
