Back in the early '70s I rebuilt one myself. Chevy had a kit just like carb kits for them. Biggest thing was to flat sand all the covers for the...
And a Model A shifter boot (with some dish soap for lubrication) fits darn good on the T5 tower.

The '40 hood was the first "alligator" style opening hood Ford made. As such they really weren't tight fitting hoods from the factory. And being a...
Ok, my spirited driving with a warmed up flathead with a non- WC T5 from an S-10 knocked out my 2nd transmission. I promise not to do that...
