What's a tuner?
Also, not all stainless is the same.
Consider the movement of the rear end. Fore and aft movement is minimal. Most all movement is in an arc around the driveshaft and in that plane. I...
Lookin’ good. Sure looks meaner. When you decide to swap brakes, let me know if you want to unload the mechanicals and the skinny wheels. D
So what did you ultimately do? D
There is no reason good mechanicals won't work. I have yet to see an "upgraded to 1939 tech" be a great improvement unless the preexisting...
I rest my case. ;) D
A 35 axle could drop the front a bit more without looking like the common 4” drop. I think the 17” and 18” wires with a little thicker tires help...
Inverse coolness factor to me. We all want to do something to "make it our own" but the sooner you stop on this one the better(just to me). IMO, I...
And the tire kids break every modern wheel cover they touch. Insisting on one-pull removal, they fracture or break one or more tabs that hold the...
Cal, I never did find the earlier video you mentioned on Greg's "Fireball T" back story. I have looked at your YT page but am I just overlooking...
Well, not very edifying but thank you much. D
Wait, what? Says stanlow69 was last here on Saturday. What did I miss! D
Sorry to stray a bit sideways but what type of loss was noted from the Fordomatic or whatever that auto was behind the later flat head motors?...

The pre-war guys didn't have Speedway or CP. What did they do for simple linkage?
I feel bad at first but then I feel like I can just relax.
I checked those sites but 3.1875 is the standard. I suppose the obvious issue is the small early bore which was never mixed from the factory with...
My '40 block is original bore but measured about .020 out at the worst place. I have a good Ford crank but two good 4" Mercs so would like to use...
Wonder if anyone has cobbled together hyd. backing plate and drums using the original A hubs?
Awesome stuff and exactly what I was looking for. Not sure why my searches turned nothing up. Thanks! D
What options do I have? Fabricating/machining isn't a problem. Has anyone ever mounted a larger drum('40 or F100) to the model A hubs or is...
So what ever happened to Cab’s project? D
Cool. Making some progress. BTW, that doesn't look like NY! D
325HP 302? Okay, I'll ask about the cam. "Screaming" might be peak torque for you. D
Deleted. Sorry.
Kerry, Can you expound a bit for those of us willing to learn? Sounds like you mention multiple geometries here. The OP found he had 4 degrees or...
Your '99 Cherokee has a stock '28 Ford front end with tube shocks?
So if there is a loose or worn part, a steering stabilizer would be a fix? Why are so many so defensive of certain "mods" as an answer regardless...
If you fab the actual front mounts level to or just under the frame rails then add the biscuits, you'll be closer as Glenn said. But, you know...
