Re: Updated oil filter system

I agree with the others, a by-pass system will filter out a smaller particulate, and will eventually filter all the oil.

Pete, just to be clear, the hollow lifters (pictured below) are not appropriate for a mild street engine application. I always thought the lighter weight would be a benefit. I'm always interested in...

Re: Flathead V8 Radiator ID

I believe that would indicate a 1937 Ford truck with a 221 c.i. engine. I upgraded my '37 1/2 ton to a '38-'42 V-8 and I would have been thrilled to have had that radiator. I started with atop and...

Re: engine swap 60hp flattie to 85or 125 flattie

Yes, everything from the radiator to the ring and pinion is specific to a "60". I know, I did it to my '37 1/2, It was a lot of work but worth it. I also added a Columbia and hydraulic brakes....
