I am new to flathead V8's, have been working on model A bangers for years, so please bear with me. I am beginning to assemble an 8BA short block and want to connect the original oil filter. The picture below is of the rear of the 8BA I am assembling. I was intending to connect the oil supply...

I seem to recall reading a thread on here about a guy in New Zealand who is building an F1/F100 steering column/box for the model A. I have done a search but cannot seem to find any details. Does anyone here have any information?? Thanks

For those who have installed a Serr Miller over head conversion in a 1930 or 1931 Model A Ford, are there any clearance issues with the head and the firewall?? I believe the terminal box on the firewall needs to be relocated higher, but does the head clear the firewall without modification?? Thanks

I am planning on installing a Mitchell Overdrive in the future. Are there any other parts people recommend replacing at the time of installation that are not included with the overdrive?? It is not very easy or fast for me to get Model A parts where I live, so I want to make sure I have...

I have been unsuccessful in trying to get hold of Bill Stipe to get a new camshaft. The time difference between Australia and the US is definitely not helping my cause. I will keep trying to get in contact with him, but I am also wondering if anyone else makes new camshafts?? I know some of the...

Does anyone have an idea when these are going to become available?? Thanks

Could someone please do me a favour and tell me the outside diameter of the 30-31 gas tank filler neck. Not near my car at the moment, so can't measure it myself. Thanks in advance Scott

I was thinking of trying one of these head gaskets, the Model B version (B-6051-M) , for one of the crows-foot Winfield heads that Tod is making. Has anyone used these before, any feedback appreciated. Thanks http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/premium-head-gasket

Just saw this on ebay. It sounds like the CR is 5.8:1 according to the attached literature. Not cheap though. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Riley-Racing-Ford-Model-A-B-Cylinder-Head-Flathead-Race-Car-32-Winfield-SCTA-/261843865982?hash=item3cf71c517e&vxp=mtr

What OHV conversions are currently available for the model A engine?? I know Charlie Yapp does the Roof and Riley 2 port, and I know about the Steve Serr Miller/Cragar head. Is anyone reproducing the the Riley 4 port or any other OHV conversions?? All information appreciated. Thanks

My pickup had already been converted to 12 volts when I purchased it, and has a GM alternator installed. I am keen to stick with a 12 volt alternator, but would like to install something that looks more period correct like the original generator. I have read several threads on here, but didn't...

I am chasing a set of 4 x original 30/31 hood latches. Must be original (not repro) and in good working order. Must also be willing to ship to Western Australia. Thanks Scott

I am not overly keen on the look of the standard stone guard that can be bought. I am chasing ideas on how to make a different style stone guard. Ideally I just want one that fills the hole in the radiator shell, rather than cover the entire shell as the standard stone guard does. Feel free to...

Has anyone installed one of these?? http://www.snydersantiqueauto.com/5768

According to Macs and Snyders, the full flow oil filter kit below does not fit if tube headers have been installed...

I have a touring motor with Snyder 6.0 head, webber carby kit and tubular headers installed. I will be installing a Mitchell synchro transmission soon, with the 1st and 2nd gears which are geared 15% higher than standard. I am looking to increase my top end speed by changing the gears in the...

Does anyone have a recommendation for someone to build a touring engine in Australia?? Looking to have an inserted engine built with counter balanced crank, pressurised, touring cam etc. Preference would be for someone in Western Australia, but would consider any state. Does anyone have any...
