This is the end of my rant. I have registered my objection and I will go back to my quiet introverted self (though I expect I have learned to post an occasional message of encouragement to the poster when I see something I appreciate).

You already have 9. Why not post once more and check again?

I am brand new on FordBarn and have run up against the 10 post rule before I can PM. Yesterday when I tried to post, it told me my account was not enabled for posting. Ugh! Let me try now....

Third post. BTW - my father is about to give me his 1934 Ford project car that has sat since 1969. That is my interest here on FordBarn.

Got another post posted. Up to 4. As a kid in 1968 (4 year old!) he says I used to "help" him. Ha!!

Got 5 posts now. Let's see if I can get a picture in here while I am learning this software.... Yes. Believe I have. Took 5 tries to get the resolution of the pic down to 800x600. This should be a pic of a 24-stud flathead V8.

Getting more posts now... need 10 before I can contact someone through PM! I am making progress.



How can I make this series of posts a little interesting for anyone so inclined to read these... hmmm.



I have a mystery with the engine pic I just posted. It is a "59A" block. See new picture added! I'm getting good at adding pictures now. Note the size limit must be smaller than 800 x 600 and no larger than 585.9kb for a *.JPG image.



This post-war engine is supposed to be identifiable by 2 belts: one driving the fan and one driving the accessories. This particular engine, however, has the single belt system characteristic of pre-war flat heads. This is a mystery to me.


Could a post-war engine be too long in the front to fit into a 1934 engine compartment? If someone knows it was common to put pre-war belt systems on post-ware 24-stud engines plunked into 1934 Ford compartments, please let me know!

I've now lost track of how many posts I have... but I'm getting this hang of this new software. I do have questions, however. Perhaps I should post some.


What I have posted to date is not even the 1934 Ford project car I mentioned in the first or second post. See new picture. This is the project: 1934 Ford Roadster. It is rough.... but do-able. The second picture is an "SG56" small-block Chevy to early Ford 3-speed transmission adapter. You can see this adapter in the first over-all view of the roadster.


My question: Does anyone out there have experience in fitting a SB Chevy to an early Ford 3-spd using this adapter? Do I use a Chevy or Ford pressure plate? I believe I must use a Chevy flywheel, right. I have found a pilot bearing for a Chevy crank that fits the Ford transmission front end - so I think that part I know about. How do I make this work??

I see lots of "bttt" in people's posts AFTER their first post. I think this means "back-to-the-top" to keep the post refreshed, right? Do people simply reply to their post with "BTTT"?


Anyone reading, thanks for being my guinea pigs as I try out different things on here.


This should make post #9 of 10! Fingers are getting tired... I use the Columbus method of typing: I find a key and land on it! Ha! Get it? Bad one... I know.

LAST post to make 10!!! I have reached the Zenith of my FordBarn experience to date!!


I asked the question about the SG56 SB adapter already. I think I may need some help with that. What other questions....


Oh - wife just came in and said it's time for date night. I promised her dinner tonight. Time to go. The one-way conversation has been STIMULATING!! Well, not really.


If anyone has answers to my questions, they will be appreciated! Later - time to go eat.


THIS SHOULD MAKE 10 POSTS!! Made it.

I can't help you with your questions but will say, "Welcome to the Barn". We would love to see some pictures of your roadster. Also, you may get more help on the Early V8 side of this forum.
