Frank Miller I mocked up the stamped bell with the 38 packard junior trans and found I will add a 1/2 inch adapter ( spacer really). It will locate off the original bore in mouth of the bell housing. I machined a sleeve for the packard snout to use a ford release bearing. Lots of room for the...

Thank you fellas for all the information and insights on the 21 ‘s The forums help with my stumbling through the 2 projects I’m workin. Terry Lucas

Mcmimmcs I be selling at Turlock at end of January and I’ll look for a couple of good ones Terry Lucas

Oldbluoval That’s how you stop cracks from growing on aircraft sheet metal. Good point. Terry Lucas

Thank you Rusty I didn’t know if I would be welding and shrinking metal to cause more cracks or extend the crack. I’ll search runout methods. Terry Lucas

I’m new to posting on Ford Barn. I read a lot of posts but stay quiet mostly. I’ve got 2 cars we own. One is a traditional project 31 AV8 and the other is a original 29 coupe. My question for the forum is I have 3 21 inch wheels that are good but 2 have cracks in the center hub area by spokes...

I did this exactly to my 29 and now I don’t get out and walk away for it with the signals still on. I run the original ignition and wiring system. Good modification👍

I don’t have much experience with forums except to loiter around looking at other people getting advice for their projects. Thank you guys...

I worked Volvos for a living and know the m40 and 41’s with OD were strong gearboxes. Interesting puttin it on a 240z motor. I’m considering a 49-53 stamped bell. Thanks for your reply Terry

This is my first post on the Ford Barn. I’ve searched and read for several years but have been quiet in the corner of the barn. My history with flatheads is I built an 8BA for a Lakester in 2001 and in 2003 we set records in XFGL and XFFL at Bonneville. 284 cube, homemade manifold with a...
