This particular project in Heard's '35 pick-up is just now receiving a brand new, fresh 8BA flathead, along with other finishing details wrapping-up a total re-do on an original, stock pick-up. If you're looking for an actual, running, operating and proven Jeep T5 W/Torque Tube project like this one, look no farther than Cory Taulbert's '32 5-window project fairly well detailed in the link below, Post #76. Forget the fact that Cory's powerplant is a little Chevy, as it could just as easily have been a flathead....note Cory's use of the same adapter that Heard used. Cory took his car on a 3,000 plus mile shakedown cruise with nothing but high marks for the performance he achieved. Last I heard, he had well over 6K miles on the Jeep/torque tube combo. Click the link, post #76! DD
