Re: How to disassemble a Columbia rearend
The 36 Zephyrs used 4.33 ratio with a Ford type banjo. That apparently wasn't a deep enough rear gear for the low torque V12 and heavier car, so 4.44 and 4.55 ratios were used. The hypoid type banjo...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
That is the type of truck water pump you need. I may have a decent looking used mate for it, but need to check; it will probably be a couple weeks before I can look. Shipping would be from Texas at...

Re: My next flathead build?
That looks crusty and gunky, but so far nothing looks catastrophic. I would check the oil pan rail for freeze cracks before getting too excited, but I'm cautiously optimistic for you.

Re: How to disassemble a Columbia rearend
Not that close, but parts could be shipped.
If you have the factory controls I am very interested in them since I will be putting a Columbia under my brother's 36 Zephyr at some point.

Re: Interesting Flathead Marine Engine
It has the Canadian third oil port introduced in WW2 that some people use for "95%" oil filter conversion.
I too would be concerned about water jacket corrosion.

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Looking great so far, you should end up with an excellent engine.
That 1 1/16 carburetor has the truck type top on it with the double bevel clamp area for the air cleaner. You need to run a...

Re: My next flathead build?
When you get a chance can you post a couple pictures of the big generator and matching regulator? I have a small collection of big generators for the 8BA era stuff, but nothing from the 41-48 era.

Re: Crank
Dual overhead cams and four valves per cylinder are over a century old, first appearing on a race engine in 1912 (https://hotrodenginetech.com/worlds-first-dohc-4-valve-per-cylinder-racing-engine/)....

Re: Borg Warner overdrive question
It depends on the Borg-Warner overdrive. The first units had a switch that interrupted power when the unit is locked out. You can see this roughly between the solenoid and lock out arm on the 49-50...

Re: NOS 8RT camshaft
Now we need to figure out what valve lash this cam is designed for.
The earliest 8BA cams used the same lobe design as the 38-48 cam.
The later (late 1949 and on) cams had a new design lobe with...

Re: Swapping Engines
I prefer to run the earlier center water outlet type engines in 39 and older trucks. The 8BA is a great engine, the best flathead V8 series in terms of use, but fitting one into the earlier vehicles...

Re: 1953 Ford 4 door rear vent window weatherstrip

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Your measured lift numbers sounded familiar for some reason so I went searching. Sure enough, reported measured lift by a Barn member on a NOS EAB camshaft was similar to what you are finding on your...
