Re: Compression questions
Remove the upper hoses then remove the belt so the pumps can’t turn. Then fill the engine with water via the water necks until you can see a level. Then start the engine and look for bubbles in the...

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
I zoomed in on one of the pictures and it looks to have a raised ledge underneath the intake. Also towards the rear it looks as thought there’s a little gap between the gasket and block hinting the...

Re: '35 gas tank yuck
I cleaned my 40 tank using the electrolysis method. Worked very good at removing all the rust. Slow but effective. I then sealed it after it was clean.

Re: 1951 Ford F3 stroker questions
I seriously doubt with that stroke that the rods are going to clear the block without some grinding using that bore size. I built a 4.250 stroker using Scat crank and rods and the rods just barely...

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
Look along the sides of the block just above the oil pan. A correct 40 block should have two humps on each side. They should be right where the pan gasket protrudes out some. I circled it in one of...

Re: Another V8 Identification Thread (1940 Ford)
Post #6 shows a pretty good shot of the side of the block. I can see the gasket protruding where the bumps should be but I’m not seeing the bumps. I would like to see the intake surface. If it...

Re: Fuel filter best location
I cleaned my tank in my 40 via the electrolysis method . Worked really great removing rust then treated it with a kit from POR to seal it. Ended my problems.

Re: Potvin Cam
I acquired this several years ago. A friend made this probably 40 years ago . He’s since passed away and I bought it from his son probably 15 years ago. Makes for good garage art.
