Re: Flathead V8 swap? Decisions, decisions
Not only is it burning oil, it is leaking from every seal and the valve cover has a portion that is bubbling out tiny bubbles and seeping oil there too
Fully operational chassis and drivetrain

Re: Flathead V8 swap? Decisions, decisions
I know the entire body swap sounds crazy since I’m planning to reinstall the original motor, radiator, transmission etc, but I LOVE this thing and don’t want any down time during a rebuild.
Also,...

Re: Flathead V8 swap? Decisions, decisions
Absolutely
I love a 6! All my old Jeeps were 6ers and one went for 310,000 miles and rams as good as the day I bought it (141,000) to the day I sold it
I will rebuild it while the running gear...

Re: Flathead V8 swap? Decisions, decisions
I hear ya there. In Arizona it’s simple to get a title. I have mine for the running truck I have now from the glovebox and firewall matching numbers. I’m sure he would keep the title on the other...

Re: Flathead V8 swap? Decisions, decisions
YES
I have researched that there are some changes to be made that are minor but several in number
I’m a purist at heart, so it’s hard to even imagine a V8 and not a 6!

Re: 51 F2 Engine Options
