I have a "87 F250. When putting it into gear there is a "clunk" sound. I presumed u-joint(s) but upon inspection the tech?mechanic said rear end. The pinion is a little loose but he said it shouldn't be a problem. It sounds like it is a problem to me! So what do you guys think? He also said...

‘87 f250 u-joints... I’m laid up at the moment so I could use a little info. I need new u-joints for my ‘87 f250, 351ci, automatic, two wheel drive. Checked RockAuto and there seems like hundreds! How many do I need? I’d think two, one rear and one front or is there a third? Then of course...

‘86-87 F250 universal joints... I just want to know if they are able to be lubricated. Mine are making a bit of noise so before I replace I want service if possible.

Been a long while since I’ve posted but now I have question. Can a pre-war intake be used on an 8BA block. The reason I’m asking is that I have a Fenton 3x2 intake but many say 3x2 is too much and one carb should be blocked off. Other say just run 2x2s and I have another Fenton for a 2x2...

Well I was getting onto the re and re of my water pump on my ‘87 F250 with its 351 and was placing the bolts carefully on a little table in the way they came out. However, something happened and gravity struck causing the bolts to land helter skelter on the floor! Now ther:o are a couple of...

I’m way more interested in my flatties, Y-block, and my 390 but I have a question about my ‘87 351. The gauge is showing low oil pressure... In searching for a solution the easy/quick ideas are change to a little thicker oil or change the sending unit. The sending unit is around $100 CDN...

Egge versus “Offenhauser” Pistons I’ve reached out to a couple of Ford Barn gurus but I thought I’d ask the general group. I’m rebuilding a ‘49 Merc engine and I’ll be using original Eddie Meyer heads. Speedway offers Egge as well as their licenced “Offenhauser” pistons. While doing some...

Just picked this up now I need info...which flathead did I get?

Can anyone tell me the sizes of the oil pan bolts and the big bolt at the front of the crank on a 8BA engine?

‘56 Meteor/Ford Body Shell Weight? Okay guys as the title states can anyone give a good approximation of the weight of the empty bare body shell of a Victoria?

Body Weight of a ‘32 5W? As the title says can anyone give me a good estimate on the weight of the empty body shell of a ‘32 5 W coupe?

Now this question applieseadle to a '87 Ford F-250 so if it's too new of a vehicle let me know... The problem is in the title, the truck overheated once which pegged the needle and it hasn't ever dropped back down even with the battery disconnected. Any ideas guys? I've replaced the correct...

I'll be getting back to my 8BA project soon. It will be bored .030 over, came with the Merc crank, running a Max1 clone cam, original Eddie Myer heads, and three '97s with th eoptionof only running the centre carb. Will have '39 trans hooked to a '40 Ford rear end with 3.78 c&p. So how do I...

I have a '32 5W which will be running a 276ci engine and a '40 rearend with 3.78 gears. I have three possible transmission gear setups... a 16:28, a 15:29, and a 18:26. LZ (although I think I'll be replacing the input shaft and second gear on that one due to wear). So which combo would be...

As the title says. Tried his personal email but message was rejected. Posted a Barm PM and no replies yet.

Just about ready to order parts for my flathead build that I had an earlier thread on. My machinist says to only go .030 overbore which would give me around 266ci I believe. A lot of the flatties I read about are 276ci. So how much more horsepower or torque would the extra ten cubic inches...

I found the following on the deck of my C1BA... 0034138 though they have been stamped over with a star in some spots. Above there is another number, 8799 which I presume is a rebuild number. So does anyone know what the first set of numbers mean?

I have an '87 F250 with a 351. I had th carb replaced last year with a Holley and everything is fine except one little thing... the choke comes back on after it has warmed up. I may drive it fifteen-twenty minutes shut it off for around 10-15 minutes and when I restart on come the choke. It...

I'm rebuilding a C8BA. Will be bored around .030" over, had a Merc crank installed at one time, have three 97s on a Fenton Intake, original Eddie Meyer heads, Zephyr gears in a forties truck ****** I'm hoping can be fitted to a'32 ****** mount, and a '40 car rearend with undetermined gears at...

To make a short story long I had a good turning 8BA. Removed the heads and plugs to check ridge at top of bore. Not too bad so I put the heads back on but didn't put the plugs in for some reason. I also didn't know I had a small leak in the roof. Up here where rain was invented some got into...
