Re: 1940 ford with a swap from the f/h to a s/b ford
I agree with Grandadeo that you'll get some of the best support on this forum to keep you Ford flathead powered. At least yours came with a flathead. My latest project came with yet another "alternative" engine... see attached... yeah, it's a Desoto Hemi. It does look like I'll be able to switch mine to a 5 spd trans and parallel leaf spgs with late model rearend WITHOUT splitting the wishbone on the front. It also seems to me that any flathead chassis, 35-40, can install a 5 spd behind their flathead without splitting the wishbone. If there is much interest, I can share some of the details.
Good luck and enjoy pursuing your project, regardless of the avenue you choose. Having fun with old cars and sharing them is the name of the game.
