8ba FORD FLATHEAD DRIVETRAIN SOLD SOLD SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!! SOLD Pending Payment I have a completely updated and rebuilt 8ba Ford flathead drivetrain for sale. This drivetrain now sits in my body off restored ‘36 coupe. The complete setup includes the engine, top loader transmission, and complete banjo rear end. Everything is newly rebuilt or new, with only the highest quality parts and workmanship. There are absolutely no issues or hidden problems with any part of this driveline, period! I have been a longtime Ford flathead enthusiast and also have a ‘30 coupe with an 8ba flathead. However, I have been presented an opportunity to go in a completely different direction with this car, and I cannot turn it down. Therefore I am selling this complete driveline, including all the items listed below. If you have a 1935 -40 Ford, this is a direct, bolt in, ready to run setup. It’s complete from fan to rear end. It does not get any easier than that. This set up can of course be used in any other early year ford with some changes. The pictures are of the ‘36 as it now sits, and it will remain together until the engine is sold. Those who are interested will be able to ride in the car, see what they’re buying, and won’t have to trust my word whether the engine runs perfect, smokes, stalls, knocks, sputters, overheats, etc., etc., etc. We’ll go wherever, city, highway, etc. until your satisfied with the quality of what your buying. When it’s bought, I’ll pull the drive train. Obviously, I prefer to sell this as a complete unit to one person. However, if it doesn’t work out this way I’ll of course part out the engine, transmission and rear end separately. I’ll start a list of who wants what, but nothing will be removed until the engine is sold. This is a quality setup.
