I'd recommend avoiding the 9Super7 carbs, they're poorly made asian reproductions sold by Speedway. Tried running a pair on a 1950 Ford, never was...
Looks great! I've been using the grease method for painting intakes and exhaust manifolds, you just smear on the gasket surface before painting,...
Honestly, by Friday/Saturday most vendors have already left anyways. Most arrive Tuesday or Wednesday and setup immediately to sell to the early...
Obviously the first step is getting both blocks to a machine shop to have them magnafluxed to check for cracks. If they're both damaged, that will...
Yeah Jefferson was a big part of my childhood, we used to go out for both spring and fall, jokingly referred to a "Spring-Winter" and...
Man, the last swap meet I went to the only thing I bought was a 134lb Kohlswa Anvil, thank god I brought a hand-truck, that was the last thing I...
I just started rebuilding water pumps inhouse, since reproductions are so iffy and don't have the same look as the originals. I see lots of FE...
You look at the 1956 Desoto Adventurer Gold? It's nice and bright without being dark and boring: [ATTACH]
[ATTACH]
Depends on the brand, some of the stuff on Amazon is really "nice" stuff made in SE asia, but other stuff is Ali-Express knockoffs, especially in...
There are several points raised in this thread: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=252048 Some possibilities include the fact that...
Got the passenger side mostly welded in, doing it all from the bottom to hide the welds, and then I'm going to go on the inside around each...
Interesting reading here: https://www.finishing.com/17/47.shtml I wonder if the chromed forged axle SoCal Speed shop sells are baked after chrome...
Like a 1932 Plymouth PB engine: [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
No idea on legality of it, but I decided on running a painted axle after all
I think Fox was doing that when going after a specific land speed record, I don't think anyone else would see the PB engine as being worth the...
[ATTACH] Working on floor-pans today. Got my sheets cut to size, now just waiting for some help in the shop so I can get them bead-rolled. It's...
Give the guys at Millworks Hot Rods and Supply a call or message:...
Not an exciting or glorious update, but I got the passenger rear quarter area "finished", at least until it goes back on the frame for brake and...
You're right, I misread the original post, thinking it was a cast iron intake based on the image.
Um, what? Is that Mopar Big Block ram-induction intakes on a 50's Lincoln V8?
If you have a cast iron intake, I'd try using Silicone Bronze tig filler rod. Works great for these applications. Cast aluminum is a bit trickier,...
Pretty much all 15" Plymouth/Dodge wheels are the same from 1947-52. I think they might have gone a little wider with the arrival of the Hemi for...
I'll save y'all some scrolling time, here's HAMB friendly lots from this year's Mecum Houston auction:...
That's awesome, if it were closer to TX I'd probably be twitchy! Would love to find an old show car and bring it back to life!
There's like 4 different widths to the 8.8 rear end, depending on year and application. Hard to tell you how it would fit without knowing what...
Likely just bad paint prep on the block surface and the paint never properly adhered. Not a huge deal to fix, but best done outside the car.
I wasn't able to find any information to identify the exact manufacturer, but if the diameter is right for your bore, and all the ID dimensions...
Man, if every car could use molded hoses instead of flex-tubing, I'd be a happy camper! It usually takes more time than I'd like to find the right...
Length of bolt is entirely dependent on how thick the manifold is. Some may be planed down in the past so they'd use shorter hardware than a NOS...
