It may be that 4" bore 3" stroke "thing". I think I have heard that referred to a "square engine". That may be incorrect terminology. Anyway, it...
We are used to High RPM engines these days. Pretty much, for a whole generation or more, that's all they know. The irony about these "modern" or...
The best advice I can give is mount the bed and running boards and then fool, with the fenders until it's right.

Truthfully, soapy water, scotchbrite pads, followed up with 0000 steel wool and lots of elbow grease wisely applied does the trick. I could not...

The OP wants a flathead. He's considering a flathead in his Model A. In my opinion his car has a strong early to mid-'60s vibe that to me does not...
Again, I had another long post. I'm too long winded. Troy and I are going to get together next week sometime. I have been doing a lot of Buick...

Check the condenser.
^^^^^^^ These comments really have merit. Think about it, really think about it. The easiest and by far the cheapest way into a flathead is to...
Flathead eh? [IMG] I'd just buy some boards, fenders and put skinnies on the back but that's just me;).

Troy, Madison is a trip but it's not bad. I could come up 65 or the Old 231. I'm about as far as Anthony but a little to the southeast. No sir....

Well, the 3 speed in my old F1 went through at least one flathead and two 302s.
I was a fire captain. Those guys made a hell of a stop. I hate you lost your chickens; a person can get attached to those critters. I think...
