Here are a couple of books I would recommend:

https://www.amazon.com/Ford-Flathead-Builders-Handbook-1932-1953/dp/1931128111/?tag=atomicindus08-20

https://www.amazon.com/Rebuilding-Famous-Ford-Flathead-Bishop/dp/0071563164?tag=atomicindus08-20

This reference book was the most useful for my first build.

I recommend getting the 1953 Ford Passenger Car Shop Manual, available reprint or original from several sources.

I have both of the books that McGarret posted. They were my first two. I think I have 5 now, but those are good to cross reference with. Now, how about some pictures of your car. We love V8 car pics!

I would love to hear about the 55 crown in your avitar. I restored and drove a hard top for twenty years. Tim

Earlier versions of "Motors auto repair manual " would help you a lot also !
