Looks to be a great book. Pity that it was not out in June, as I could have brought a set back with me. Now, with postage to Australia, the cost would be around $200 Australian.

Does anyone know the picture quality? So often specialty books like this lack decent pictures.

No option outside 3 day shipping.

$81.17 tax, title, shipping. :eek: (in the states)

Ordered. Hope it's a hardcover book, not a spiral-bound and but if so hope its chucked with some good info. After reading I'll add it to jwl and rons, etc stack.

Good books are fine thing. Picked up some Harley D books at an action, A friend told me to to buy them. $100 for 15 books... to really buy 1 hardcover early HD identification book. I don't own a early HD, so I sold the out of print book on ebay. $300. Guess he was right.

They are spiral bound.

Re: New Book Available on the Ford Flathead V-8 Engine
 

Well hope the info is amazing then. My 35-36 spiral bound was informative.

Re: New Book Available on the Ford Flathead V-8 Engine
 

They are very good. Ordered mine Sunday before last. Got them this past Monday.
Over half read them already.
Pictures in them are good and they are soft cover and spiral bound.

Wow, talk about extortion and beating a dead horse.

Re: New Book Available on the Ford Flathead V-8 Engine
 

EFV8CA is good at that.

Re: New Book Available on the Ford Flathead V-8 Engine
 

Why would you guys say that? I was a subscriber of "restorer" model a, and "Secrets of speed" mags, also the jalopy journal quarterly stuff. Lot's of great info in them.


One of my more favorite. Missing some updated bulletins.

Re: New Book Available on the Ford Flathead V-8 Engine
 

I agree with Pete on both issues

Nobody is forcing you to buy the book, so what is your point?

Re: New Book Available on the Ford Flathead V-8 Engine
 

Before I slap leather to make the purchase, I would like to see some in-depth reviews from those people who have already purchased the book....

Re: New Book Available on the Ford Flathead V-8 Engine
 

This was posted as an "FYI - For Your Information" post. As always, buy or pass is totally your call.

Re: New Book Available on the Ford Flathead V-8 Engine
 

I personally thought your opening post gave a good insight into what contents to expect in the book. ie info details and not build details.
So then you can buy or pass on the purchase.
Thanks for initial post. I would consider it for sure.
