Re: What is the recipe for the ultimate flathead street engine

Alright. You folks have convinced me. 8BA and a T5 sounds like the way to go. Now give me another 10 years and my old F1 might actually see the light of day!

Re: What is the recipe for the ultimate flathead street engine

Re: Ford & not so Ford

Ford or not, that is pretty cool. Especially the fact that he trusted you enough with the car to turn you loose on it that way. 65 years is hard to imagine :eek:. Great job.

Re: Flathead Machine shop Georgia or?

Pine Ridge Auto in Canton used to be the best one around here. The owner died but his son and grandson still run the place so it may be worth looking into. There is also a man named Donny Key. Keys...

Re: New guy with a Y block question

Keep us posted on the filter.

My steering box is a Toyota which is basically the same (demension wise) as OE so I guess I will be heading down the same road.

Chris, if I were in your shoes, the only thing wrong with me would be the concussion that I got from the wife for bringing home something else to play with. Congrats. Nice car

Re: New guy with a Y block question

WOW! That is a DAMN tight fit! Is there a reason why you didn't offset the engine a little to allow more room?
