Man Brendan, cool story and cool dad! Very sorry for your loss but I can tell part of him lives on in you. May your father rest in God’s eternal peace.

Very sorry to hear of Lawson’s passing. Very good guy for sure. He will be missed. May his family find comfort in the knowledge he is resting in God’s eternal peace. 🙏

You guys convinced me. I don’t think I will test my marriage against my ambition of being a “wanna be” Fangio. I guess I’ll use my common sense on vehicle prep. I’ve been slowly improving my ‘41 Ford in anticipation of this. Rethinking my decision of using a Powergen generator/alternator...

Hey guys do any of you do timed cross country rallying in your V8 Fords like the “Great American Race”? If so what sort of preparations do you do to your car? What tools and spares do you bring? Do you have any interesting stories from the road? I am nearing retirement and I’d like to do at...

Great idea. I’ll check into it.

That sounds awesome!

I’m afraid of what that freight bill might look like. I did go to Ohio once to pick up a 317” Lincoln/Truck Y-block. Maybe I can………

Re: Jay Leno’s Garage compares value of 1907 Ford Model S This was a very good episode.

Hey guys grab yourself your favorite beverage, lean back in your chair and enjoy this great test of an ARDUN converted 8BA. This is a great video that was preceded by a couple of in depth build videos. The most striking thing for me is how this old Ford can handle the power it made and it...

I sold my 430 Lincoln to a man in Pa for his ‘39 Lincoln Zephyr. (He’s a hot rodder and wanted more power than the V12 could give him) I would love to replace it with a 337 Flathead. If I could only get out your way. Dang!

Fascinating thread. Thanks guys!

Allow me please to comment on that. While the Olds and Caddy were the “go to” engines on the street they didn’t come with the transmission most often. Those guys usually adapted the GM engines to Ford gearboxes because Olds and Caddy’s were most often backed up by an automatic in the 50’s. A...

Believe it or not I actually got a rope rear main seal to stop leaking by using Blue Devil seal restorer. I think it cost me $15.

Well now wait a minute, if we don’t discuss this “stupidity” here then where? Not at the dinner table or the bowling alley or on the golf course. It’s meant to go right here on an enthusiast’s forum. I’m not good at explaining why I hate to see vintage Fords from the golden era gutted and...

It’s funny but Doane Spencer, builder extraordinaire who built one of the most iconic Deuce Hiboy roadsters of all time refused to use a brand X engine in any of the Fords he built not the least of which was that ‘32 Highboy. It was almost like an act of rebellion NOT to use a GM or Mopar...

Well it always stops at that answer. It’s “their” vehicle at the end of the day to destroy in any manner they so choose I tell you this phenomenon is unique in the world of automobiles. You don’t see enthusiasts from many other brands crossbreeding their cars with engines from the rival...

The 50’s was a long time ago.

Ford made in the hundreds of millions of OHV V8 engines and none of them are any good to repower the old Ford?

Go to a Harley Davidson rally and offer to exchange a half dozen of the nicest bikes there with a brand new Indian V Twin crate engine and get back to me on how that goes.

There is no place safe and no early Ford forum immune from the cancer that has infected so many early Fords. If Caddy engineering is so great buy a Caddy. Those guys only look down at Ford people anyway. The automotive equivalent of r a p e.
