Re: Block Restamp
Be very careful on this. If your vehicle is registered with your engine number that doesn't match your title and you change it you can get in a lot of trouble with the authorities.

Re: 32 b frame for v8
First I want to be sure I understand the question. You are looking for the difference between the 1928-1931 Model A frame and the 1932 Model B frame? You intend to use a flathead V8 engine? Either...

Re: A newbie needs help!
Remember if you bolt a Model B carburetor onto a Model A intake manifold the carburetor will be at a slight angle and it will be difficult to attach the Model A choke. The venders make special bolts...

Re: A newbie needs help!
Interesting. When was the last time your car was at the DMV? Then maybe it was just the difference between two DMV locations, I used the one in Culver City in 1972 for my '31 RDDPU.

Re: Next step - brake lines...30 Tudor - Guidance?
I would use all 1/4 inch lines and original (or reproduction of original) fittings so you don't get involved with adapters. Look at the fittings and routing for a '39 Ford. Can you post a photo of...

Re: What wheels are these?
A close up of just the wheel might help. I think you should have had a 5 on 10-1/2 bolt pattern so something has been changed.

Re: A newbie needs help!
When the engine passed final inspection at the Rouge plant, where all of the engines were manufactured, it was assigned a serial number. When the chassis came down the assembly line this same number...

Re: Model B fan
To the best of my knowledge yes. I read it in the bible (Green). The fan 46-8600 fits 28-34 four cylinder.

Re: Serial Number and Year of production
The first thing you need to do is to add your general location to your profile.
Next you need to get the paperwork straightened out before you invest any money and before the seller disappears. I...

Re: Model B engine in an A
The Model A has a smaller rear main bearing which means you need to enlarge the pan for the larger bearing. The B rods will hit the sides of an A pan. You need to dimple the pan. I have heard that...
