Re: Trans Replacement
The U joint is bolted to the transmission main shaft. You won't be able to access the bolt or U-joint until you get the torque tube dropped down and away from the inner clam shell piece.

Re: rear drum studs
Seal puller. Can get one at any auto parts store or online of course.
The seal is not usable once you pull it, so have a new one ready to install in it's place.

Re: 48 Ford car rear hub bearing dimensions
This is interesting because the end of the axle housings had to be hardened and then machined perfect for the bearing to ride on. This process had to cost more than using Timken-type tapered...

Re: What gears in a stock '48 F1 with 9" rearend?
F1 stock rears had 4:11's I believe and should have a 29 tooth gear cluster in the trans. That 29 tooth will help you get moving from a dead stop and allow you to go with a "better" highway gear on...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
That 8BA cam is a dog. If the EAB cam is good, that's the best of what you have. Unless you are pulling tree stumps, you don't need low end power. Mid-to upper RPM is where most people drive. ...

Re: 276 stroker from 35 years of parts
Glad to hear that another motor is coming together.
Man, I know I'm in the minority here, but I would not go with a stock cam. While you have a the chance, go with something that can...

Re: 255 Merucry Dyno Pull
Randall,
That's awesome and thanks for sharing. Can you tell us a little more about what you did? 126 hp is impressive for a stock looking motor.

Re: Lincoln OD Transmission
Seth,
A LZ guy may want the O/D section, especially since you have the solenoid. Also offer up the shifter plate and the clutch arm. Those are LZ specific parts.
