Re: Fresh rebuilt 8BA Flathead
Thanks, I like it as it does not damage as a chain might. I purchased from Jerry Bickel Race Cars Inc for $139 +shipping.

Re: Fresh rebuilt 8BA Flathead
Unless you are going to run it under a load you may be doing more harm than good. Search this forum for more info.

Re: Fresh rebuilt 8BA Flathead
That's beautiful. Love black coloured blocks with aluminum heads and intakes.

Re: Fresh rebuilt 8BA Flathead
I often wonder what scale people use to choose the parts they use in their engines. For example why did you choose the Offenhauser pistons and Isky 88 cam for this build. As expensive as it is, these decisions have a big effect on the applicationof the engine.

I discussed what I wanted with the engine builder and he speced out the parts. I relied on his years of experience building flatheads. |

Re: Fresh rebuilt 8BA Flathead

Man, your engine is gorgeous. I also like the black. It appears to be an 8BA-type ('49-'53). If so, how is it going to breathe (relieve crankcase pressure) without the original road draft tube? Has it possibly been built with a PCV valve incorporated somehow? If that black piece at the rear of manifold is a vent, you must be planning on an electric fuel pump....? Welcome to FordBarn! DD |

Correct, it is a breather and I will be running an electric pump with a regulator. |

Re: Fresh rebuilt 8BA Flathead
Is that the oil filter at the rear of the driver side block?

Re: Fresh rebuilt 8BA Flathead
Yes, the block was modified to pass the oil out through a filter and then back in. this will be mounted elsewhere once installed in the truck. It was just there to transport.
