When you get around to putting it into an early Ford you might consider motor mounts like I used in my AVATAR. I was advised to use the original...
The good news is if the gasket is missing you should be able to tell by looking. Also did you remember the shims that allow for the thickness of...
Any chance someone forgot the gasket between the block and the flywheel housing and the oil is coming out from the rear of the cam? Charlie Stephens
I am not sure of the market for 4 door sedans in Australia. I am in California. I decided I wanted one about 30 years ago. Looked all over for...
If you go with a '32 K member here is how I set my brakes up using '32 pedals. Master cylinder fills through the cutout for the battery. Charlie...
Just a couple of thoughts. I think would use the early Ford pickup steering (contact Randy Gross, [email protected], 714-292-8660) over on...
Please accept my sincere apology, I was only looking for more information to give you a better response. I have trouble working with only part...
Looks good. Being a banger guy with vibration concerns I used the stock motor mount to get the rubber. Do you have any rubber in yours? Charlie...
What engine and transmission are you going to run? If I remember correctly guys like to use the rear end from a Ford Bronco to get the 5 on 5 1/2...
This may be what you are looking for. The original was cardboard but most of the reproductions are fiberglass. There is a layer of insulation...
There must be a Pontiac Club, have you tried them? Charlie Stephens
If it was mine I would put on bent spoke Kelsey's. What did you have in mind? Charlie Stephens
Sounds like a great idea. Replace that small 200 cubic inch 4 banger with a massive 136 cubic inch V8 and get more horsepower. Wait a minute???...
I am sure you know this but it is good to point it out. Frequently when a hub is run loose a crack will start in the axle. In time this crack...
I always liked the "Bent Spoke Kelsey wheels of that period. V8 hubcaps are available from Bob Drake. Charlie Stephens [ATTACH]
Remember you will need to relocate the fill neck on the radiator and adapt a bracket for the hood hinge. Charlie Stephens
After looking at your photo again I still don't see the slant windshield. Do you have any pictures from the side? Early 1931 sedans were a...
I would hold out for a slant window (introduced slightly after the start of 1931), they had almost no wood in the body. Charlie Stephens
The bars used on 4 cylinder cars lacked the hole to mount the V8 emblem. Guys used to like to start with them and drill them to allow for any...
I would replace it but if you decide to cut corners be sure to run safety hubs or brake drum clips. On second thought, run the safety items no...
The fenders are the same passenger car and truck UNLESS you have a BB truck (large frame) and a fender mount in which case the well is wider to...
If you included a picture of the hubcaps you want to use you would get a better result. I always liked the small hubcaps and trim rings. Charlie...
Try posting your question on fordbarn.com (https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=4). The guy that wrote the judging standards for the...
There must be a club with a web site and that would be a good place to look. Charlie Stephens
You should add your general location to your profile, you can never tell when it will be useful. When you are trying to identify the brakes get...
Probably a little off topic but why don't you leave it on the floor? What engine/trans are you using? Charlie Stephens
When I put the 181 Mercruiser engine in my AVATAR I used the same adapters that place a SBC to an early Ford transmission ('39). I kept the stock...
The following changes need to be made when replacing a Model B with a V8 (21 stud, others will require a few more things): Of course engine,...
There was a guy in the Fordbarn classifieds about a year ago making the transmission cover to be used with the later transmission. As far as the...
I wonder if that is someones drivers license number to recover the part if stolen? Charlie Stephens
