The 31 I purchased already came with the frame boxing kit, mounts, and water pumps needed to fit the engine to the frame. It also comes with the radiator and a set of inside the frame rail headers.

Thank you! I will look that up before asking further questions. I really wasn't sure if this was more of a purist page or not. I didn't want to offend.

Thanks. I wasn't sure if conversions related to early would be handled here or there... Since the V8 is there but the body I'm putting it in is here.

Long time lurker here. I recently bought a 31 Sedan. It is my intent to do an Early style V8 conversion with a 53 flathead. I want everything to be somewhat period correct. I know as in every group there are purists that won't like the thought and talk me out of it. Some might be ok with it...

So I just picked up a 31 Ford Sedan that I am trying to do the V8 conversion on. The engine and trans came out of a 53 Ford. The transmission is a column shifted 3 speed. There doesn't look like there is anywhere to mount a shifter to the side of the trans since it is so short. I'm sure that...

It was a charity called Kylerstrong. It was to help find a cure for childhood brain cancer.

It was a photo shoot from last year. It is this year's calendar. I am sure they are all sold out. Amazingly enough next month is the month I am featured. I feel honored though especially since I was the only Ford that got the invite.

My wife didn't seem to think so. She was pretty upset that she was touching my car. LOL! I got over it. She told me "You said nobody was EVER to touch your car unless they are naked!" I just nodded and smiled. Since she wasn't at the photo shoot, that nod and smile didn't go over well. She got...

Agreed. Thanks Kevin. I will be doing that testing this weekend.

Thanks. I have 9 Fords now including my daily drivers. I only own Fords. My wife thinks I have lost my mind. She may be right.

Putting it through its paces. I love it!

Wow! Very nice! She is going to be a beautiful car when finished. You can't beat a nice straight black car!

Well, it is hard to leave this one sit outside... I need more space. This picture was taken at a photo shoot for an invitational calendar for a charity. I'm a Ford guy through and through. I did the full rebuild of this car from the ground up.

I still have not picked up a regulator for it yet. BUT... Since I couldn't help myself I took it to the cruise in on Friday night to "relax for a bit". Only 2.5 miles from my house. I guess it is a bad thing that I am loving this car. It has taken the garage space from my 64 Fairlane. Now what...

So last night I started the car and increased the idle to about 1200 RPM. When I momentarily disconnected the battery terminal the engine died. I reconnected and tried again but this time I jumpered the F and BAT terminal. This would put the generator into "runaway". When I disconnected the...

Thanks guys! OK. I tried to polarize my generator last night. I flashed the F to the Bat terminal on the regulator. I got the small sparks but there was no change. I started the car and disconnected the battery and it died. That tells me it isn't putting out anything. Without doing the...

I am guessing in this quote they MUST mean at the REGULATOR not at the Generator. Unless they mean remove the wire from the field and JUMPER from the bat to the field terminal on the generator. Am I correct in that thinking. I read the thread you referenced. Thank you. It makes me wish I had...

I have found info on youtube, which of course is not always correct, about applying voltage to a generator and that will have it act as a motor. They said in their video that if this works then the generator is good. I don't want to cause damage trying this. Is this a definite test or should I...

I also own a 41 and am curious why you had to add the electric fuel pump. Was the mechanical not able to do the job? I have a problem with mine that my check valves in my factory pump are not working as well as they should and the fuel drains back into the tank overnight. I think an add on fuel...

I cleaned the points of the regulator last night and still no charge. I think maybe I need to "flash" the generator. I have never had to do this before but I am guessing that it is simply a matter of momentarily touching the FIELD terminal on the generator to the NEGATIVE terminal on the...
