that would be fantastic, please let me know what you find. I really appreciate it!
Howdy guys, im hunting for an OEM crank balancer for a 60-61 hi-po 390, cast code starts with a c1 or a c0. Does anyone have any information...
A Cleveland would be awesome! But I dont have one, I do own the edsel, the flathead, and the 351 windsor. I probably wouldn't go with a Cleveland...
So I think the edsel with manual is the way to go, will need to build the car to suit the engine, I found a wilwood disc brake kit for the fronts,...
Sounds good! Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Oh thats incredible, I love the running board exit exhaust, definitely using that for mine Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Haha yeah, I am spoiled by my 2009 ram with the 5.7, it has plenty of power for getting around, so I figured that amount of power in a truck that...
Thats about where im at with it, traditional does no one any good just sitting there in a garage. Give me a "traditionally inspired" ride that...
Haha yeah, if my flathead wasn't so tired I'd probably be doing the same, but id be lying if the increase in power isn't exciting Sent from my...
Lol I know, but those rolling bones boys did it, id say its considered kosher for the use this truck is getting Sent from my SM-G970U using The...
I've got room for days looking at it, and didn't these trucks have an optional 6 cylinder? I would think that would be longer than a large 8....
I'm finding the 4 speed stuff to be pretty pricey, kinda makes me want to just bite the bullet and do a 5 speed. It uses all the original stuff...
I can understand that, but if I wanted to drive a modern car, I would. I looked at the price of a used f150 and the price of rodding my f1, and I...
I might be willing to buy that stuff if it is still around Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Haha yeah, I might go c6 just to get it going and running, and then upgrade later. They make a TKO that would do well under it, I really need the...
That was my thinking too, and plus it has the perfect truck power curve, the torque curve looks like a table top Sent from my SM-G970U using The...
Yes that's part of the reason for this question. The edsel is done and machined, and the flathead needs a full rebuild Sent from my SM-G970U...
Brilliant! Sounds pretty great to me! Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Lol that is the plan! Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
I would totally consider a c-6 if someone had one for a good price, but id prefer a 4 speed. I'm only 21 so I have plenty of time to change it if...
In that case, anyone have a 4 speed transmission up for grabs that would support a big block? Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Those are great little engines, but I dont own one, thats why its the choice between these 2. Well its really between 3 engines, but the 351w just...
I think you are right, all my reading says that the trans for the early MELs is the same as the FE Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B....
Sweeeet Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
What is your gearing? What speed parts did you use? Thats fantastic cruising speeds Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
How much does A/C draw on an upgraded flathead? I would not be keeping it stock Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
The 58 MEL uses a FE bolt pattern and motor mounts, so anything FE bolts up in the trans department Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B....
Also, the engine that doesn't go into this truck goes into my 29 model a tudor, so its a win either way Sent from my SM-G970U using The H.A.M.B....
While the reliability of the SBC is undeniable, im not really interested in doing that. I know they are cool, and traditional, and parts are easy,...
Thanks for all the responses guys! I want one thing to be clear, I AM NOT GOING WITH A MUSTANG 2 FRONT. I just put it in the original post...
