I am sort of "into" flat six M and H series motors, I have several, just got my 254 back from the machine shop yesterday. Feel free to buzz me if...
I put a t5 behind a Ford Flathead six 226 in a shoebox with a 3.70 rear. I used a mustang gear box, as it has a more favorable 2.95 (i think it...
OK thanks- I will probably switch to an electric pump (carter 4070), but just am stubborn and didnt want to give up on the stock one!
Does anyone know if it is possible to modify a ford flathead 6 diaphragm single action fuel pump (similar to the flat 8) for increased volume...

I mess around with flathead ford 226 and 254's (the rare F6-only big bore version) and I must say that I agree with GMCBubba .....the stock vacuum...
These are great motors- the main shortcoming, in my opinion, is the crappy vacuum-advance-only distributors that ford used at the time. You can...
pretty much any mopar flat 6 will work- there are usually two different distributor types that I have come across, though both are the correct...
With regards to what distributor can be swapped- I used a flathead mopar distributor (correct diameter to fit the ford), cut the shaft off of the...

After spending a lot of time in the junkyard, I also came to the conclusion that an s-10 is the closest donor. Seems like you could use the whole...
Pointless posts like this make the HAMB seem........."Ghey". Maybe you should try Myspace or Facebook.
