Default Re: 1929 tudor flathead v8 conversion

The L-head V8 was the traditional powerplant for a light body roadster, coupe, or pickup back in the day. The use of the 1932 K-member and wishbone gave the light duty model A frame a beef up in a weak location. The top shift light duty 3-speed from the 39 cars and later pickups was a better box than the model A by a good bit. Hot Rodders choice for immediate prewar and post war car buffs that wanted to see how fast they could go on a dry lake, a beach, or a long stretch of country road. A lot of car clubs formed around cars like this. Bangers were there too.
