About 12 years ago I called Ron after hearing his liking for an L100 cam. He sent me one to go in the late block that I was building. The engine has 3-97's, Offie heads and a crab ignition. Have driven my 41 Pickup for 5,000 miles so far and it runs fine. Thanks Ron.

I had mine louvered prior to painting.

This was how I went with 276 cube and three Max built Strombergs and an L100 from Ol Ron. Runs great.

I managed to salvage the tank on my '41 pickup (with a lot of cleaning) and used a Drake unit. No problem in 12 years.

Had manifold polished by a shop.

Re: New project: ‘41 ford pickup My '41 Pickup

If the vehicle is to be correct as it was driven from the factory......FUEL , OIL, WATER , GREASE comes to mind.

My '41 pickup tank was nasty. I put sharp edged rocks and a couple of gallons of gas in the tank. Shook it back and forth multiple times over two days and poured this out. Repeated until it looked clean. Then used a tank cleaner solution. Then used POR 15 sealer. Been good for 10 years. I use...

In my 41 Pickup with a 4 speed ****** I have a late block 276 CID with an L100 cam, 3-97's, Offie heads and crab ignition. It runs great with good pull thru the gears. Drive it around town often. I wouldn't change a thing.

I put a bunch of sharp rocks and a couple gallons of gas in my tank. For several days a partner and I shook the tank vigorously and then emptied the tank. Did this several times until it ran clear. Then used a kit by Por 15 to coat the insides. I mounted a large filter on the frame and no...

For whatever it is worth here is my experience with an L100 in my 276 with 3- 97's. I like the acceleration thru the gears, but if the RPM's go below 2000 the engine will buck. I don't go over 4000 because I like to be able to drive home. A T5 manual shifter is a nice ****** for this...

I have an OPTIMA battery under the passenger seat and mounted a master switch (CH type) mounted on the seat frame behind the stick shifter.

L100 that was recommended by Ol' Ron 276 CID with crab ignition....screened air cleaners are now on. Offenhauser 400 heads

Installed Uncle Max rebuilds. Engine runs better now. I have two conditions that most BARNERS don't like. ...no pressure regulator ...straight linkage instead of progressive If the wrong way works why should I worry.

I sent him a box of parts and he returned these. It was time to upgrade from my work. :)
