Hi Think of them as comfy parts chasers while you work on your Ford! Each has about 120K miles on it. They are project cars. Engines in car with many parts rebuilt.Heads main bearings etc Good guy selling them. You get about 12 big Costco bins of parts with them. Will put you in...

The one we are really kicking ourselves for never getting to is Pioneer Land or something like that. We did get to the one at Speedway Motors Good God! There are super rare race cars and race engines there. For Ford nuts the Mecca is that one they almost demolished. Henry Ford took a...

Hi Looking for a medium duty truck. F series or LN or even a cabover. Box body okay. Have a nice day Bob

Howdy Will post picture of it. Found it in about a '60 Car Craft magazine. The plusses of a tube chassis are this: You can mount your engine in it pretty quick. If it is wrong place just cut off mounts and move it. You will have something to amaze your friends with in the garage...

A guy in Quartzite AZ is getting rid of everything he has collected. Just do a search or PM me. Does have a 63 1/2 Ford probably a Galaxie Probably has some more Ford products. Now he was a buy/sell business but also a major treadhead. Actually had some car dealerships. Looked like...

Have been looking at control line planes. Point being. Most people that went to the lakes in the 50's were REAL familiar with nitro and 'special fuel' from doing control line airplanes. Whereas like in the 80's it was 'Gee.Nitro and alcohol? That is a big ole' new thing we have to learn...

Yes.We will add nitro to it. First things first. Anybody use it before? What are the in's and out' to it? Thanks! Happy Holidays!

It happened near Rancho Mirage. That is where Highway 74 comes down to more or less. Turns into Monterey Ave I've been told. Said he wasn't wearing a seatbelt.Probably because a '57 Ford never offered seatbelts. I did not post article because it has his name in it. Anybody want to...

Been looking high and low for this info. Found an article on 'Practical Turbocharging'. Different engine but it said the static compression ratio was around 6.5 to 1. Then they poured on the turbocharging and practical compression ratio was much higher. Running on the edge of some...

If you have a 260 and a little time and extra dollars you can build one of these. http://www.suddenlink.net/pages/jonknapek/fordv8/indy.html Note the Y Block rockers used! Check out the power figures on the '68 turbo version. This was done in house by Ford engineers. Has the name of the...

Hotrodding The Ford V8 1963 Hot Rod Magazine Booklet This booklet is on the way to us. It is the 'sister book' to Ford Performance Handbook also 1963. Funny thing though.This one has the 427 as Fords top performance engine and Handbook has the 406. The 406 was only out a year or two and...

Looks like it was Ford's version of GM Craftsman's Guild contests for young automobile designers. Picture of article is too blurry to read. First time I have ever heard of it. Do own a couple Craftsman's Guild yearly contest books though. Did anybody enter it or know of it?

This is on it's way here. That is probably a 406 on the cover. That was BEFORE the 427 existed for sale to the public. THAT size FE motor I could go for! The other FE engines I always stayed away from over the years because everyone has an FE! Have article already saying the...

This is what my solo seat open wheel buddy said about 54 OHV V8. '55 and up were a different engine. Distributor had a different size opening in block for it. Crankshaft had smaller journals. None of the '55 and up parts will fit. Some little tidbits.

Enderle,Hillborn or Kinsler. Crower or any make. Fuel pump,barrel valve,shutoff valve and high speed bypass. Any other parts like Dial A Jet.Small parts. Thank you.

Here is swell way to start out the New Year! Figuring out 'What is it?'. It says it is for '55 Chevy V8 to Ford OHV V8 (Y Block) type manual trans. That don't look like a Chevy small block pattern to me. Looks more like Chrysler or Ford V8 (Flathead)...

Grabbed one off Ebay the other day. Should be here Thursday. Have article somewhere saying how the Strombergs are super well made. Something about there is more machining in them than most factory carbs. Stromberg made the carburetors for airplane engines during World War II. Ran...

If you have ever called Charley Trans over the years with a question about your Fordomatic etc that was driving you up the wall now you can pay back in and get a wood inkpen for a Christmas gift for somebody from him. Little Fordomatic tip. If you have one of those Lo Drive versions here...

Old timer told me the rods are cast iron! Says you take the rod and hang it on a coat hanger. Hit it with something metal. If it goes 'Ting' it is forged steel. If it goes 'Dong' it is cast iron. Also said cast iron has thin casting parting line. Forged steel has a band where they...
