Our hope is that the new owners will protect and enjoy the 40 just like you did. Bitter sweet, these decisions we must make.

Try asking it in a more general way like; “Flathead Ford V8 engines,”. Then if/when a selection comes up you can look em over. Or sometimes just simplifying and reversing the words, like; “Ford Flatheads” can work. Computers have their own minds, and are stubborn. Good luck.

“Your self preservation instinct will kick in”, still laughing at that one. It’s a coool line to remember and use sometime. Made my day.

Many moons back I had a bent conn rod in my F100, 360. The engine developed a metallic thud sound that got louder over time. The wrist pin brass bushings disintegrated completely and showed up as gold fragments in the oil pan. So took out #8 piston (rod loose on the pin,) then the bend was...

Thanks for posting this historical nightmare, and it is getting replayed again and again, and right this minute. Human complacency and mother nature combined. Absolutely tragic. Where I live in Maine we have the bitter cold, snow and icey roads, I’ll take it over beautiful coastal...

Re: 39 Ford deluxe can't remove cam I’m reading that you have all the parts you mentioned lifted out of the way, Richard Crow asked if you had the fuel pump push rod pulled back, you didn’t list that, you didn’t respond to Mr. Crow. Could that push rod be the issue?

Ford folks are the best as we witness right here. Love a great act of custodianship.

Rest in peace Jim, heartfelt condolence to family and loved ones.

I knew a lady that had one installed on her modern car a 1962, I was 17 then, I asked her what it did, she said it was an anti-sway device and that it made a difference too. After work she took me on a curvy road and went fast, the rest was a learning curve for this young fella, and now only a...

Sorry about the loss. In time we will all have a reuniting, a huge extravaganza of our dear friends and Fords. For now we have the memories and keep our spark as strong as we can.

Two great old Fords with a new owner. What are your plans for them?

Thanks Kultulz, nice little read about those big inch guys, too bad the Cammer wasn’t allowed as it really should have been, obviously some manipulation going on there.

A lot of folks that see it must just scratch their heads in wonder. I’d like to have at least 1/10th that talent.
