cylinder bore spacing
I've spent hours searching for cylinder bore spacing and find nothing.
I know the spacing for the Flathead v8, but not the Lincoln Zeyphr and the V8 60.
I'm needing these dimensions to make my...

Re: stock rebuilt
How many miles on the odometer?? How much of a ridge in the cylinders? Are valve seats pitted? Are valve stems worn? Was it recently running?
You mention a "budget" and "stock rebuild". You...

Need early block valve and parts
I'm far from home and in need of a couple split valve guides, mushroom valves and springs. Used, but serviceable is fine. Want to pick up local in Bloomsburg, PA area or Chester, NJ area.

Re: piston pin offset
Crank is offset for mechanical advantage, I think, while piston pin offset may or may not be depending what the engineers intended. Modern engineers "see" things a little differently it seems to me,...

Re: 53 flathead horsepower
Actually it's the torque numbers within your driving rpm range that matters most, IMHO.

Re: Acorn nuts for cylinder heads
Real acorn nuts don't weep coolant when you have studs. I heard somewhere that some Model A's had them from the factory.
