Well the 47 Fordor went to a new home last year and I just picked up a 64 F100. Its been sitting in a garage since 1992. So the 292 is going to need some love to get going again.Advice on the best source for parts? I also have been reading about the Petronix. Seems like a good choice. Opinions...

I have an original 1947 Ford Fordor Super Deluxe for sale. Car was all original before being partially disassembled. Have all original parts. Has factory rear suicide doors. Body has some rust. Floors are pretty good but will need a little patch work but not much. Suspension is original. Comes...

I'll be headed to Steamboat Springs in early June and found out that where we're staying just happens to be where the 25th Annual Rocky Mountain Mustang Roundup is being held. It's June 13th - 16th. I know this site is nowhere near about Mustangs but was wondering if any of you will be headed...

I have an opportunity to pick up a gas tank from a Woodie around my year. Its in great shape, and since I don't have the cash to buy a new one, this looks like it would fit perfectly. My questions is, are all the tanks the same from 42-48? I don't have either tank in front to me but from what I...

Hey guys, I'm having a bit of an issue here. I shipped a generator for a 47 Ford 6cyl G series via the USPS. It was in a priority mail box, and packed tight. Apparently they dropped it because the guy I shipped it to sent me a pic, and a piece of the pulley is cracked off. Can someone please...

I have the original 3spd trans from my 47 Ford Fordor. It is still in the car but will be coming out soon. I will not be using it. $150 o.b.o. I also have the original straight 6 flathead that it was attached to. Best offer on the motor. It spins freely, and I took the head off to check the...

I have the original straight 6 out of my 1947 Ford Fordor Super Deluxe. I know the engine spins freely. We took the head off and the cylinders look good. Not sure how it runs because I dont have the time or money to get it running. I also have a lot of the original parts that came on the motor...

I have the stock straight 6 motor/trans and other misc motor parts out of my 1947 Ford Fordor. But I have no idea what it's worth... Or if its even worth trying to sell. I don't just want to junk it. I figured someone may want an original motor/trans, but I have no idea what it is worth? Any ideas?

The seats in my 47 Fordor are destroyed. The fabric is filthy and crumbling, and the padding is popping out and looks like insulation that you'd find in the attic on an old house, and they smell horrible. I have an opportunity to put in the seats from my 77 Ford donor car that are in fantastic...

I am looking for some info as to what rear end will fit in my 47 Ford. I want to put a new rear in it so it will handle more power. Anyone have any info as to which rear ends will work in these? And simple bolt ins?

I finally uploaded some pictures of my car to my gallery. So now you can see what the fuss is all about.

I've been getting varied opinions and ideas on what can or can't be interchanged between these motors. I know the heads, water pump, and distributor can not be used. But I would like to know what can be used. Or what other years may be used on the 47 G series. Seems like most of the info I've...

Anyone here from the Chicago are or Illinois in general? Seems like all the places I call for parts are in every other state except Illinois. Would be nice to actually walk in and talk to someone or be able to meet up with some other flathead guys so I can learn more about these motors.

Does anyone run an electronic ignition in their flathead 6? I have the 47 G series and as I was ordering parts, the guy suggested I may want to look into an electronic ignition.

Well guys, bad news. When I started taking apart the motor (G series straight 6) the other day, I discovered a broken stud stuck in the head that the thermostat housing bolted to. Apparently when the previous owner had it, they snapped it and just set the housing back on and used the other two...

I came across a deal for two flathead 59A (might be 59AB) motors. The guy said one is "bad". The other is complete and should run. How difficcult would it be to swap the flathead 6cyl (G series) with the 59A ? I can get the motors for $100... My 6cyl, with a tiny bit of love, might actually run...

So I have been searching and searching the net for parts for this motor, and 99% of what I am finding is for the V8's (such as this forum). Anyone have any suggestions on straight 6 forums or suppliers for parts? I'm kind of scratching my head over here because nobody seems to have everything...

I've got a 47 Ford Super Deluxe with the straight 6 (226), and I'm running into a problem locating parts. I need a few random things, and I know this seems like a basic questions, and I've done a lot of research, but I cant seem to find anybody that sells everything I need. I'm looking for a one...
