Re: Why not a new casting
No, I didn't. What makes you think those would add substantially to the complexity? You're aware that OHV engines have numerous cores in them, too, right?
For a pattern maker or foundry man, a...

Re: Why not a new casting
Yes, as someone who's designed sand, die, and investment castings, the flathead wouldn't be that much more difficult.

Re: Why not a new casting
A flathead block wouldn't be much more complicated to cast than a SBC. Just a few more cores to deal with.
The issue is the ROI. It's an expensive and time consuming endeavor to develop the...

Re: 1932 - 1934 roadster pickup door hinges
It's been years since I looked at the ones I have, but if IIRC two are originals and two are from a car or closed cab that have been modified to work on an open cab.

Re: halibrand models
There are 301 sized "no-change" center sections, which would allow one to use the corresponding larger (stronger) ring and pinion.
I don't know if Halibrand ever made one, but some of the...

Re: 32 winterfront
Pines grilles with 25 louver hoods on open top cars are really baffling, but seem to be a popular combination for some odd reason.

Re: Painted silos
Perhaps so the inside walls are smooth. :confused: If there's no insulation (or other modern amenities) in the wall you wouldn't really need to have siding on the exterior of the studs. The porch...

Re: 1932 Ford rumble lid
Nothing says you have to put the seat in your trunk. You could leave out (or remove) the seat springs and riser, leaving you with a top-opening trunk.

Re: T5 guys TKX
I would agree. It even shares some of the exact same boss and rib geometry at the bellhousing flange and in the tail shaft housing.
I don't really consider this to be a replacement for the T5. ...
