Re: My 33 BB Truck
Great truck! It appears to be a flathead V8, does that make it a BB or a V8?

Re: Troubleshooting Transmission '47 pickup
GB, I installed an S-10 T5 in my '48 sedan behind a non-flathead engine several years ago. I bought a transmission mount for mine, but it needed modification. I think it was made for a '40 frame. ...

Re: Looking for a machine shop
VicPiano of Tampa/Orlando (Cigar City Flatheads) might be a good contact. He's apparently not an engine builder as such but probably knows good people to recommend.

Re: 1950 Ford kingpin lock pin

Re: Rebuilding an Ardun OHV 1954 - 1956
52 Allard,
Van Pelt would have been a good alternative for the rebuild and transmission parts from what I've read on FordBarn. We're glad you're back on the Allard project. Keep us updated.

Re: Ford Script Battery
OldGold,
You might do a search on Fordbarn. Someone did a DIY install in a original battery case a few months back. That is if you can find a case. They should be available.

Re: 47 V8 ignition mystery
Craig, Have you done a compression test when the engine has been misfiring? That would be good information to have. Dont' remember you mentioning whether you had or not.
