RE: soul searching. Made me realise I wanted to work on my truck.

Flathead speed and machine has an EFI system for the Flathead, I was flabbergasted. I had to look really hard a couple times in the video to see the system, It's truly amazing cause if ya want to, just take the injection part off and put the carb back on your throttle body. I was like WOW I...

Ken/Alabama's ****** looks great. Now that's got me thinking I seen some ford transmissions, how hard would it be to buy a whole lincon zeper kit and put in a ford housing? I'm considering scrappin my idea for the 5 speed now.?? Is there an overdrive out there to fit and if these are 3 speeds...

Was wondering before I go for take off, what are the requirements for a hot rod title? I mean what mess do ya have to go through? I heard it is a mess of legal issues and fees to get one. What year would the title be for? I dont want a modern title but an antique title that the numbers are back...

I'm figuring out a radiator and need the measurements of the outlets and inlets. And core size? That's what I'm confused on I tried to google it but no defenitive anwsers :(

3:78 gearing for both worlds, economy and power? I'm thinking 3:78 is a good choice.

I am starting out slow cause of the econonmy and its a mess but I'm planning out my moves, engine first it's closest to me, next frame, body, and running gear, rear axle from hot rod works, it's gonna put 3:78 or 4:05 gears in it and they have my brakes covered to. What do you guys think?

I recently heard on the news they're gonna take the sulpher out of the gasoline, if they do go through with it, how will it affect us? Idle circuts stopping up, plugs fouled, accelerator pumps getting gummed up?

I updated my album with new pictures and I got out of highschool in 2010 been lookin for a job since but farm and grandparents call and been helpin ever since but I'm not bummed cause I know God will provide, my dream is at a total of $200.00 but I'm savin it for a rainy day, farm and...

I looked at Hot Rod works and they have AWSOME rear ends, I'm wondering witch one to run when the car is done? I sent them an email of what engine I'm goin to be running, and let them make the sugestions. But I like the looks of them they say hey im right for your roadster jd. :)

I'm set on what I'd like to do, I'm getting the books and making a trip to Ohio to Gollers Hotrods before I pick the engine up to see how much it would be and to get a relationship built with the builder. I figure a 8BA (276?) with mild cam (good idle) port/polish and headers and the right...

I done some research and got yes and no. Can I when I get the engine and car built use royal purple full synthetic oil with new modern seals made to fit the Flathead? Or is it a bad idea?

This will make it simpler to understand what I wanna do here. What was the HP of the typical Flathead in the 40's and 50's that everybody used in the 32's? I mean for what I want is just a good running 32 roadster, I'd want a reliable driver but some kick. (what would be good for a flatty in...

Is the 81 easy to tune and what does it look like? I have experience with the 8n ford carbs and Carter WO on my Willys jeep. If it's anything like the Carter, there should only be a fuel and air screw. and if that's the case if I find two it should be a piece of cake to tune them once I find the...

I'm in the process of negotiating for the dump truck engine the merc engine 255 I think. I'm gonna run down there and see what he wants for them this month. It'll take some time to complete, but to have the body and frame + suspinsion would be a great start. I like the merc engine but its heavy...

After talking to some of the greatest people I ever met on here, I got my mind made up now, I'm gonna go look on those engines I mentioned they are both the merc engines cause they're in F-6 dump trucks, I'll run down there sometime this month and try to take pics.

I heard even before I got on here there are people running 4bbl's on their flatheads. What would the advantage be in looks and get up and go? I'd like to run 3 94's but Im trying to figure out when I get the engine if I go that way how to get all three to work together, but I think I might go...

I'm planning to start a future project, I already have the specs for what I want. I'm takin my time and really thinking over ever little tiny detail so I dont miss. My goal is a vintage hot rod late 40's. But my main question is everyone I talked to said you can't jump in a flathead car and run...
