    Rear engine/transmission mount.

    I am dropping a 60hp flathead v8 into a 28 A chassis. What do I need to support the back of the engine and transmission? Should I get the cross member from a 32 or newer or is there one that fits the A? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Radial tires

    I put radials on my 57 Fairlane and have trouble with the front wheel covers moving on the rims. One will move so the valve stem is not coming out of the hole in the wheel cover, the other one just flies off and ends up in the road ditch. It flies off on the straight away just cruising down...
