Hello,
Does anyone know if a flat head v8 is a direct fit replacement on a 29 model a truck. Will it bolt on to the bell housing and transmission?

Thanks

Joe

no, you have to put in a V8 trans, plus do a lot of other work

Joe, save a load of cash and weight. Bolt on a hi comp head and you'll have 70hp and you wont lose the lovely big banger thump!
