I did this exact work to my 51 f1 a few years ago.. I used a 3:54 ring and pinion from a jeep cherokee or wagoneer, cant remember which. I used an auburn posi carrier that I found on super sale from some race supplier (i could dig up the paperwork if you needed),this carrier had 19 spline side...

Thanks a bunch! Green Monster.

I used Dennis Carpenter on mine, they fit fine, glued in place. At first, like Neal said, I had to roll down the window to close the door, after about 6 months they compressed a bit, now it's only cold weather that gives me trouble. I'm happy with the quality. Matt.

Beauty!!

looks good!

Good to know he's still rollin.. I wonder where folks get the audacity to ask such money? Always something new to wonder about I suppose.:confused:

Thanks for the response.. Matt.

I have never cared for the coil mount on the 8ba cylinder head, I feel it's clunky and crowded. I just finished building a new engine for my f1, (maiden voyage was sunday actually). Anyhow, I fabricated a new coil mount that attaches to the inner fender, to clean up the cylinder head area. I...

I have the second edition third printing, think I paid 12 bucks or something for it. Is Joe Abbin still around? total nonsense...

Wow, looks like a fun day!

Hope you have a speedy recovery!!

This can be done, I built my rear axle (1951 f1) with an auburn posi unit for dana 44 and a used 3:54 ring and pinion from an 80's or 90's jeep cherokee or wagoneer (cant remember). turned down my original bearing to use as "setup bearings" and bought a timken rebuild kit for dana 44 on epay...

Agreed, Thanks to all, I've learned so much here.

I found this old Gates rubber company button in the kick panel of my 27 roadster .. But the best thing ever, I wish I would have taken a picture, was a 22 magnum old west looking revolver, it was in a holster with a belt, all bailing wired under the seat frame of a 1952 plymouth concord I ended...

Hey Jeff, call Adam at wizard transmission, he's on evans near federal. I've had him do several automatics of different configurations over the years. He really knows his stuff. Good luck.

I'm 41, my girlfriend of 11 years says I act like I'm 65. Not sure what that means.

Thanks Karl, I'm certain the need will arise in the future.. Matt.

Admittedly I am in over my head on this subject, as this is my first flathead build, the deflection theory was my only thought regarding the clearance changing.I'm using original ford valves that I refaced etc. , so that may explain the lifter issue as these valves have probably had the stems...

I'm wrapping my 8ba build with an L100 cam, while I had the block bare, pre-hot tanking, I ground around 1/8" off the top of the lifter bores as well as drilled them as low as I could at 5/32 dia. as per Ol Rons book, did all the exhaust and intake port work needed, then took it to the machine...

I'd ask him if he feels like selling any parts today.. Then tell him the internet is always one click away..You felt like supporting YOUR local community, maybe he should feel like supporting HIS as well.
