We shall see, I mean, I wouldn’t mind having one or two of the pickled engines just to see what kind of shape they’re in. I just don’t know if I wanna take on the whole package.There is a lot. Next time I go over there I’ll get some pictures. Kiwinus, I have some paste that you put on a...

Correct, 1937 was also the year Ford went to a one piece hood. It opened much like modern hoods do.

Yeah, I think I needed the voice of reasoning. I really don’t even have time to work on the Flatheads I do have. Maybe I’ll just make an offer on one or two of them and see what happens, worst he can say is no. And I’ll probably be better off for it.

Karl, I’m in North Pole Alaska. There’s not a ton of interest for Flatheads stuff up here. I know this because I’ve tried to advertise some of the stuff I have to get rid of it. I just can’t bear to throw it away. But in a few times I have advertised very little interest has been shown. And if...

It would be very messy to do. And to add to it, it’s getting cold and snow is on the ground. I don’t know why I didn’t take pics. I wish I could find two more buyers, split it three ways, and only have to drag one truck home :) I’ll have to work on that.

But I’ll bet they all turn over.

I’m not a spring chicken, And I already have a dozen flatheads and a shed full of parts. Curiosity killed the cat, but I’m dying to see if any of those pickled engines are any good. But manifolds, carbs and dist were pulled to make them fit in drums. So they are all projects at best.

That phaeton is a beauty, I love the Pines winter front!

I’m trying to figure out what to do here. I have an opportunity to buy about 15 Flatheads, All 59 A-B except for one 8BA and one pre 38. Most have been pickled in drums full of oil for thirty + years. I’ve known about these for a long time. New owner now, just wants to get rid of them. But it’s...

That would be cool to drive it just like it is!

I have done this exact thing before, but I cheated and used one of the adapters that Speedway sells that goes on top of the Divers helmet distributor. This allows you to run any kind of coil.

Which one would be used with the 8BA crankshaft?

Thank you, I know crank/cam gears are different, I would probably stick with the earlier gears. So do the crank bearings need to be 59A style?

I am 6 feet When I built my hot rod I was considering chopping the top couple inches. I’m so glad I didn’t. Even with the standard top it’s a tight fit.

On this subject, Is this a pretty straightforward swap? Any other modifications required? Which oil pump, etc. Thanks

Thank you! Makes sense. Well now I have plenty of bushings��!

All the bolts are 5/16 x 24 Thanks Bruce! Maybe I’m thinking about this all wrong. Do The rubber bushings for the running board go on the top and the bottom? Or only on the bottom? I was thinking, the rubber bushings sandwiched the running board, but maybe not? If they do not, then I have...

I’m getting ready to cover and mount the running boards to body. There are seven holes on each side that are threaded.(not counting the major body mount holes. But, I only have 12 sets of bushings that came in the running board kit. Does anyone have a diagram of how these are laid out? I do have...

Great picture!

Here is a NORS set. I’m getting ready to put on an early 47. Diameter are three-quarter inch on the top and one and 1/8 at the bottom.
