If they want to move the car quickly and usually to settle an estate that is the case, the price will need to be down. I don't think they will do any better then the purchase price. I had one similar offered to me for $5,000 and I passed. Too many tudor's like this out there.

Don't the gas heaters (southwinds) have what you are looking for? I do not know if the port is the correct size. The picture above looks like one.

Hot rodders throw away the chicken wire and fill them in with sheetmetal. They won't care. ;) Neal

I am looking for a 4 barrel Edmunds intake for an 8BA flathead. Thank you. Neal

Sorry to read. He will be missed. I enjoyed his posts here on the Fordbarn.

Happy Birthday Ron. Thank you for all your help. Neal

There is a natural turn over of Model A's and not enough buyers that are interested in keeping them original to hold the market firm. Those hot rodding the Model A's set the market. Neal

I just got done putting the heads back on a motor and had the same dilemma. I went with the studs but after I got it done think I should have gone with bolts. I had used bolts on a different motor before and they worked fine. My concern with the studs is to get the heads back off again. Was...

Here are pictures of the two that I am working with. It looks to me that the black one that came off of an 8BA is an early style and the one that has 292 on it is from an 8BA. So conclusion is, both of mine are flathead starters. What I have does not look like a y-block starter. In the end a...

I think the starter that I picked up may say 292 on it but don't think that is what it is. I am going to take another look but I think it is for the earlier flathead. Interesting read from your links. I will go back and read it again. I have done the switch of the fields on generators...

Inquiring minds want to know why? What am I missing when I look them over?

I picked up a starter that has 292 written on it. I assume it is from a Y-block. I compared it to the one I have here from an 8BA and it is similar in overall size. Will the Y-block starter work on a flathead? Thanks. Neal

The little thing interest me. How do they cool the V-12? I do not see a radiator. I do see the water pump and it has a belt on it. Neal

295 cu.inch. I figured that out without an online calculator but I think I am closer than what you got. The dome of the piston doesn't matter as long as the dome is the same at both ends of the stroke. Neal

Hard to tell from the pictures but I would guess that if careful, you could repaint the hood and get it to match. Nice car, good luck. Keep us posted. Neal
