    24 NOS Aluminum heads?

    Hey guys, I am seeking opinions and information on some heads I have. They are 24 stud. They are Canadian. They are NOS (i guess). I guess I wonder if they are milled and wall hangers or something else. Talked to a local guru and we looked at other heads and the thought they are not milled...

    T5 guys TKX

    So I'm not a big T5 transmission swap guy. I'm a fan of the bango as designed and a 3 sp or od, But what does this do for the guys that are looking? Not having to hunt a s10 trans down? https://americanpowertrain.com/the-all-new-tremec-tkx-is-here/

    Eckler Hack?

    Just received an email confirming an order I didn't make. Checked my credit cards, no charges. Maybe don't click any links if you receive one (fishing scam). Call from the number on their website. Email was for a part I ordered years ago to an old address.

    1938-39 truck door mirror

    I know this is better served in the wanted section. But I'm looking for a 1938-39 ford door hinge pin mirror. I can get an aftermarket one. I prefer not. A good original if available, pm. I don't check in here as much lately, probably a good thing for everyone else :). Thanks guys. Did a 30...

    Springtime maintenance

    Was able to get out and do some spring time maintenance. I gas primed the 38, but just pulled the choke on the 36 after 5 months of sitting. Lube done. Diff checked. Tire air.... Only thing to check is the transmission oil level and an engine oil change. Be well!

    Stock Duece Coupe

    That was supposed to be Deuce Coupe before you all get hung up on it. Are there a lot of stock 32s out there? I can say I've not seen one live outside a museum collection. Maybe I need to get out more often. :)

    tesla Truck

    Ya I know this is not the right forum. But we have opinions. I can't call it a true truck but I like it. I'm weird. I also think if Ford turned out a basic truck at a cheap price (25-30k) it'd sell well. no fancy electronics and a bit of power with a new multi-geared modern speed...

    FORD vs FERRARI

    We all (i'm guessing) know this story fairly well about shelby and the Ford gt40. I'll probably wait for it to come out on netflix or whatever to pick apart, haha. Looks like a very fun movie! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zyYgDtY2AMY .

    The Unofficial Vender List

    This stuff changes all the time and opinions differ. I have no preference or advocate any contact. Just a collection of peoples posts here. Maybe this is just a list for maybe someone new to look at and ask. Not a bad idea to ask around either for a local guy or help. I can add or delete...

    Cut outs and fields

    So there was a post on field grounding regulators/generators. How does this apply to cutouts and how to field direct generators on cutouts? .

    Spark at Battery is it a short?

    Okay so I've told I need start a thread... I guess. Can someone explain why disconnecting a lead at the battery and you get sparks, is certainly a short. I can take a two leads and make a spark every time? I have decent ford electrical knowledge. Just curious? .

    1935 Ford 15-P

    Saw this on another forum. Thought it was interesting. Know nothing about it, nor was any supplied. Know there are some plane buffs here. Very nice craftsmanship.

Lots of great info on engine hopups in these and some...

    Design through tires and suspension.

    So I'm sitting here listening to hockey on the radio and surfing. I came across this coupe on social media from new zealand. Maybe I'm stepping some boundaries by re-posting the images. But it's such a change I thought it's worth it. Previous on the bottom. Might be a member here also. I do...

    John McCain

    Delete, as it's political. Just thought it was important! It was suspected, but a sad day. Quite the man. shot down for us. Quite the patriotic man to say the least. One of the greats.
