Attached are photos of my main top bow for my RDSTR/PU. On those photos I have marked in near proximity holes of 1/4" diameter that were drilled for whatever reason. Those marks do not indicate the holes for the for side curtains, or for the two buckles that mount the bow to the stanchions. Are...

Not intending any kind of disharmony here, but im curious about the 5 main blocks Tod is producing, and what choices exist for 5 main crankshafts in Tod's block. With the availability of the Burtz components, including crankshafts, has the possibility of a Burtz crank being installed in a Tod...

Jim, sent you a PM

I'm back, and have no idea what I am supposed to make out of the numbers. Here they are. If you recall I have been reluctant to pull the heads, and it was suggested I degree the exhaust valve on number one. Reconfirmed TDC and very repeatable. The info I found on the 77B: Int and Exh...

I've been shopping for a degree wheel to check my cam, but have not seen anything size wise to fit either the crankshaft, or the '40 fan bolt pattern. Any recommendations?

The current status of my miserable running V8. I decided to start from scratch on this motor. I pulled every piston rod assembly, and inspected for any broken rings. No broken rings. I had a set, so I replaced them anyway. I pulled all valve assemblies and replaced all valves and springs. This...

I have an earlier post called "Question on Cam Gear Marks" that discusses an engine problem I am having. Please visit that post and give me your take on my problem. Thanks

I have a V8 engine that just will not run correctly. I have rebuilt a few flatheads and never had a problem like this. Engine runs like the cam is way out of time. It does not sound like the typical flathead when cranking. No speed parts involved. 41 block with 8BA rotating assembly 3 3/16 bore...

I'm planning on restoring a Calif license plate, and need information on the letter/numbers color. Black plates with the yellow/Orange characters. What did you use to get to the correct color? Appreciate hearing how you got there.

The photo below shows a block with two head gaskets in place, one on top of the other. The top one matches the block with the trapezoidal holes. I don't have those, but I do have the round hole gaskets that match the heads. Will I have any potential water leaks if I go ahead with the gaskets I...

I have run into a problem on an engine I am currently building. The block is a '41 with the sleeves pulled and bored to std. 3 3/16." The problem is when it was bored, no chamfer was made to remove the portion of the top most bore area that the original sleeve sat upon. With my spring compressor...

Looking for a photo and, or measurement of the thickness of a 8BA iron head across the dome portion of the combustion chamber. I'd rather not have to cut one if that info is available elsewhere. Perhaps from a Ford print? Thank you

I have come up with a merc crankshaft 1CM. The rod journals have been ground for the smaller 1.998" rods. I have zero experience with 21 stud engines, but have heard there are a few problems that need to be dealt with. The stroke is at 4 1/8". The snout has been substantually shortened, which is...
