Re: Dual exhaust on right hand drive 1940 pickup
That would be great, thanks Eric. I just haven't spent enough time around V8s to know how it's best done. I need to mentally prepare myself for these things nowadays so pics would be fantastic. ...

Re: Dual exhaust on right hand drive 1940 pickup
Thinking they might be a bit hard to find too, and maybe more expensive than working with what I have. I'm keen to see a photo of how others have run their front pipes to see where they track...

I don't have my pickup here...

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
I'm guessing the odds of two Merc woodies in the South Island is pretty slim! I only know what I remember from Dad telling me way back and I'm not sure what motor it had when it was in Invercargill....

Re: NZ flathead pics I hope
The only Woody I know of that came to NZ was a Mercury, a 46 or 47. If I remember accurately it was brought out here by Lord Freyburg(?) after WW2 and eventually ended up in Invercargill. I believe...

Re: Christchurch KiWi barners
Correct, that's the one - I'll try and attach a photo of me as a 16 year old just before I was told I could take it for a spin! Being right into Model A's back then, it was like driving a Model A...

Re: Christchurch KiWi barners
I'd also love to have a look through there one day - have heard lots about it.
I believe the first early V8 I ever drove is in there - a 1932 roadster and would like to see it again. Was pretty...

Re: Removing oil pan in place....RHD
Yes that’s the one - I think we took it there when it opened that Burt Munro weekend from memory - back when the water stayed where the water should!

I have a 99 motor in a 1940 pickup and one (or two) of the core plugs in the oil pan surface have sprung a leak. Has anyone replaced these without removing the motor?
So far I have removed all...
