What's the Timken part number for the pilot bearing used with an 8BA and T5? The (presumably imported) bearing that came with my kit is making noise with only 1600 miles on it 🙄. I'd like to have a new one here before I pull the truck apart. Thanks in advance!

I'm looking for a copy of the Flathead Facts book. It seems that it's no longer available on Amazon or Ebay. It's best to email me at Southtowns27 at gmail dot com. Thanks!

'46 pickup with restored gauge cluster. The gas gauge tends to read a little higher than what actually in the tank so I was experimenting with placing some low value resistors in the wire from the sending unit to the gauge to correct the reading. I was using 1 watt resistors and noticed they...

I have an 8CM in my truck with about 500 miles on it since being built. It's a stock rotating assembly, bored .060" over, with a Schneider S100 cam, Isky springs, and adjustable lifters. Offy heads and intake. I clayed the engine when it was built so I know the clearances are good. It won't...

I have a '49 Merc 8CM in a '46 pickup and it has the Merc car fan on it. Ideally the fan should be half in and half out of the shroud, but it's almost 2 inches too far forward. I'm looking for something without the spacer between the fan and pulley to get the fan properly aligned in the...

I have a flywheel off of an 8RT to replace my 8CM flywheel. This will allow me to run the readily available long style clutch. Will the 8CM starter and starter plate work with the 8RT flywheel? If not, exactly what do I need?

I'll be swapping an 8CM Merc and T5 into my 46 pickup. The Merc came with the original flywheel and a stamped steel ring that I refer to as a bellhousing, see attached pic, but no clutch parts. I have the aluminum adapter that bolts to this ring that the T5 then attaches to. What size clutch...

Hey guys, I'll be swapping an 8BA into my '46 pickup. On the 59A in the truck the fan is attached to the end of the generator. I just noticed that the pulleys on the the 8BA are much farther forward away from the block than they are on the 59A. What are my options for adapting my current...

Working on building a '49 Merc. This engine was rebuilt many years ago but never fired. I tore it back down and I'm doing a nice mild hotrod build. The engine has new aftermarket valve guides in it. I bought a new set of Isky valve springs but they're just slightly snug on the guides. Do...

I'm putting an 8CM Merc in my '46 1/2 ton pickup. I need water pumps that will work with the wide belt and that will line up with the '46 engine mounts. The 59A pumps appear to be quite a bit different and I don't think they'll work on the 8CM. So exactly which pumps do I need? Thanks!

I have a later S10 T5 with the Ford bolt pattern. What adapter do I need to bolt this to an 8BA? This will be going in a '46 pickup and I'll need the original clutch linkage to work. Thanks in advance!

What headers will fit a flathead in a '46 pickup? I only see them listed for '48-'52. Will they work or are they not even close? Any other recommendations?

I'm putting a '69 Mustang drum/drum master cylinder in my '46 pickup. Does it matter which port goes to the front or rear since both reservoirs are the same size?

I've got an NP435 transmission with a Borg Warner R10 overdrive on it that I'd like to swap into my truck. Is there an easy way to get this bolted up to the flathead?

'46 1/2 ton pickup. How does the forward leaf spring pin remove from the rear springs? Is that a wedge pin that I've circled? Remove the wedge pin then the main pin should pull out? Waiting for my service manual to arrive... Thanks in advance!
