Re: Flathead project
Look like wide to me. You only get thin belts on later type (Post 59A) pumps.

Re: Flathead project
LS,
Thanks for taking the time to share this project with us. Never having taken a flathead apart, I really appreciate seeing what you did with yours and reading all the accompanying posts.

Re: Flathead project
LSJUNIPER, very nice job. I love it. What are you using for a cam? Stock or performance? Where did you get the carbs? Do you know what the jets and power valves size are? I'm full of questions. Thanks Walt

I really like this build. What are you planning to put this engine in when you finish?

Re: Flathead project
Thanks for all the interest and compliments. The cam is an Isky, 77B, mild cam...the carbs are from Speedway Motors, its there Super 7 Carbs. I purchased there kit. It comes with the carbs and the intake. I am going to put the motor in a 29A frame I also purchased from Speedway. A friend of mine used to make frames for dragsters, he is going to weld it up for me on his frame table.I am not sure what I am going to put on the frame as far as a body. I really would like to put a modal A coupe body on the frame, but I am finding out that they are hard to come by. I have thought of putting a 1946 ford truck body on the frame...We will see when I get there....

Re: Flathead project
I have a question. If I use the original flywheel and mate up a T-5 trans will I need to use a ball bearing in the center bore like the one I removed?

Re: Flathead project
In your first photo I noticed a chain hoist. I fabricated a couple of straps and bolted them to #1 and 5 exhaust ports and used a hoist to stabilize the front of my 8BA until I can make a side exhaust plate for my stand. Cheap peace of mind.
