@19Fordy: Do you know where I could get a fan bearing assembly? In your post 3 years ago you. Mentioned @drake are these still available? Yep, you were right mine went out the other day aftera longrun on a warm day. Guessing I didn't get enough lube in it. Sent from my SM-S906U using Tapatalk

Hi guys, it has been a long time since I have posted. Haven't had much time to work on the Bord 4rd. She runs great but I let my fan hub go dry on a fairly long drive. I remember someone sent me some info on a bearing kit someone was selling for this. But, I can't find it. Wondering if anyone...

I searched the differential and I can't find anything resembling a ratio. Have posted some pictures maybe someone can ID from that or direct me where to look. But I also did some testing: - One wheel revolution = 94.5" - one drive shaft revolution = 18.5" If someone can help me with the...

I'll have to look at oil pressure again don't remember for sure but I'm thinking around 40PSI. Motor was just rebuilt, has around 100 miles on it. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Thanks for doing the math frnkeor. I appreciate that!!! I will see if I can find some numbers on the axle this weekend. The question remains, if it is running 3300 RPM at 65. Is that too fast for a stock 8BA motor It runs super smooth but is it damaging itself in the process? Sent from my...

Thanks for the feedback everyone. I'm pretty sure about the Speedometer because I am using my Garmin and the Speedometer ties right out to that. It could be any of the other suggestions though. 25 might be a little more than idle but I don't know if I could keep it running at 15. Now I...

What are your opinions on max RPM for a fresh 8BA engine? I have a 1950 F3 4 speed, not sure what rear axle ratio is other than I'm sure it is original. I can cruze comfortably at 60+ MPH. However, am I over winding the motor at that? It'll do more, there is plenty of power, but I do have to...

Thanks for the information! I will check that out. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk

Interesting, I need to find out what ratio I have. Would be great to have another gear but would also like to keep it stock. I wonder if anyone on can say what a safe max RPM is for stock 8BA? It seems to run comfortably at 65 MPH. But, not sure how long I want to push it at that. Sent from...

I had mine rebuilt by Glenn-Ray Radiator in Wausau, WI. Very happy with the results. Sent from my SM-G973U using Tapatalk
