Re: FOUND!! V8-60 sedan
I like it, I just got mine a few weeks ago. Not as nice as yours, or as original, and sat for many years but not 53 years (only around 40). Mine does have a long family history.

Re: FOUND!! V8-60 sedan

Re: FOUND!! V8-60 sedan
Great car! The stainless looks amazing. It's very hard to find 38 std. stainless. It took my friend 4 years to gather his. Great find. Jim

Re: FOUND!! V8-60 sedan
A hot rod has a flathead in front and tools out back!
A street rod has a f¥*%ing Chevy in front and a can o polish in back! Please don't put a bloody monkey motion engine in it. You'll kill the poor thing. If you want comfy mile eating easy going torque, build a nice 276 flathead with an isky 1007 or 1007b or L100 cam pair of heads and two carbs on regular dual inlet. Include a correctly curved, key word being correctly here, that red capped aftermarket stuff ain't anywhere near correctly curved ( it has a sbc curve! ) ignition. Msd one is better. Use that bloody sbc Delco points distributor and get Charlie NY to curve it to flathead spec. Only usefull part on that engine. You can slap a C4 Auto on the back of any year engine, and this auto is the slenderist trans, slides in with least amount of cutting. A later flathead can be fitted on the front of a later AOD trans. If you feel the need for a slush box. You may already know this stuff I spec, but if I didn't say it here I would not be doing my duty to your car. Martin. PLEASE PLEASE don't kill the car. Mild hot rodding as I've described I'd be ok with. Just don't turn it into a another sbc powerd street rod. If you want to do that, do it to a shitter, your car is too good for that. This comes from a hot rodder born an bread. |

Re: FOUND!! V8-60 sedan
You know, this thread isn't about flatheads, if you don't like what I'm doing to my car I understand.. I don't particularly like flatheads and I think most were replaced when the overheads came out.. I'm old enough to remember when flatheads were King but I also remember them being replaced because they were to slow.. If you guys want to run flatheads I respect that but in the mid 50's I also remember Chevys, Cadillacs and Olds overheads replacing a lot of the flatheads and that's the era of hot rodding I'm shooting for.. My build will not have tilt, air, a console or other street rod items but it will have an overhead and probably an automatic.. Sorry if some of you don't like it....

Re: FOUND!! V8-60 sedan
I think the issue may be that this is a flathead site. Lots of us have had experience with many type of engines in Hot Rods (including Scooder) and respect them all, but this is a flathead site so you are going to get inputs on flatheads. The HAMB is geared toward a variety of engines. I am first and for most a Hot Rodder, but my personal leanings are I will not mess with a restorable car. All of my cars (the Hot Rod ones) are ex-dirt track cars that are not candidates for restoration. I enjoy and take pride in bringing these lost causes back to life.

Re: FOUND!! V8-60 sedan
JSeery, you are exactly right.. Silly me bad mouthing flatheads in the flathead section of the Ford Barn.. I didn't mean to offend anyone and I apologize.. Flatheads ARE cool and it's good that there are people who keep them running...

Re: FOUND!! V8-60 sedan
Milo,
Did you really just tell me to shut the f##k up!!??!!?? "didn't mean to offend" ?? Gota remember, you showed us Ford flathead V8 guys a really sweet car in very tidy condition, you then told us Ford flathead V8 guys your gonna hook the engine and put a brand X engine in it! I think we were very polite in our opinions. What reaction did you expect? I certainly didn't expect your reaction to my post. Martin. |
