Hello, I admittedly am not very knowledgeable on flatheads. The owner who had the car built told me it's the original 221 CI 85 HP V-8 engine to the car. The VIN is stamped on the top of the transmission-to-engine housing portion of the transmission so I don't have reason to doubt him. Thanks for your question.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the visit! One of my favorite hoodies. Glad you're back in action.

Thanks Chris, they really make a difference if you need to move a car to get to other stuff.

Thanks for the compliment and watching. No issues yet but I've only had them for a few weeks. They do make moving the car a lot easier. I have cabinets on that side of the garage I need to get into once in a while and don't want to start the car once put up for the winter.

That's a pretty good one. Thanks for watching.

I agree with you 100%. Thanks for watching!

Even at $130 they are half the price of the GOJAKs. With that being said I would not have spent $520 plus tax for them as I don't need them that bad. You do have to wait until the stuff you want is on sale at HF. Thanks for watching!

Hey Teejay, I thought about showing how they work but there's a lot of videos showing that. I had a hard time finding a video showing how easy it is to move the car. No issue with the frame hitting them as they are pretty low profile, on the outside you do need to make sure to give the handle clearance room from the body. I have mine about 1-2 inches from the body. That's plenty of room as long as you use a little care when pumping the jack with your foot. They are very easy to use. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Solon, the off white one is my buddies and the black one at the 1:56 and 8:55 mark is mine.

I used a Lokar cable shifter for the Ford trans. You can see some video of it in part 12 of the build labeled exhaust and misc. Thanks for watching.

Hello Gary, thanks for watching my video. Yes I do, we were limited on space in the shop and did the best we could. We did POR15 the frame as best as possible. Overall I am happy with how it turned out.

Just catching up on comments. Thanks for watching. I've been very happy with it.

Anytime, have a good day

Thanks John, I appreciate the compliment.

Yes there was. Last show of the season for me. Time to put the'38 away for winter. Thanks for watching...

That is a good looking car. I didn't get to see what engine it had. I was surprised that many cars came out in the rain. Too much work to clean them up for me.

@@pmr413 The engines were the same displacement, but the timing cover, and how it bolted to the block was different, making the block different too. The older engine had its mounts on the timing cover.

Thanks Brad!

I would agree with you. If I were building this I would have gone with a Mustang driveline. But, each person builds their car the way they want. There are a lot of cars that are not to my taste, yet I can appreciate the effort that went into them. Anyhow, thanks for watching and have a great day.

Thanks Brad, it turned out to be really nice. And my son tells me it's pretty darn quick too.

Thanks SIM, and thanks for watching!

Thank you Ken, and thanks for watching my video. Best of luck with your truck!!! Pat

Hi George, thanks for watching the videos. I used an after market GM column with a "D" coupler going to the Crown Vic rack and pinion steering. The F100 steering box was completely removed and not used. Hope that answers your question.

Thanks Howard, I think the low RPM idle makes the flathead sound so unique.

Thanks Brad. I do miss my truck, I now wish I would have figured out a way to keep both.

I have so many from the past I wish I would've kept. I understand completely

Thanks for watching. It's been a slow process with all the hours he works. But for now there are no plans to modify the exterior or interior. Just beef up the frame and suspension to handle the extra horsepower.

Thanks for watching the video. If you go to the 9:05 minute mark in the video you can see a 2x4 that the firewall seam is resting on. Then the board is resting on the trans bell housing. We jacked up the cab about 5-7 inches, put the board in place then lowered the cab onto the 2x4. Hope that helps. ~Pat

@@pmr413 Thanks so much for your reply! I will try the same.

Hey Scobee, thanks for watching. I ordered a "Hot Rod Chrome Tilt Steering Column 28" GM No Key."

Sorry I wasn't signed into my account when I replied. 28 inch column, no key, GM style. Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks 2112, I always thought if you're running steel wheels they need to be painted any color but black. Thanks for watching.

Thanks, I appreciate the compliment.

You're welcome! Thanks for watching the video!!!

HAHA, thanks for watching.

Hello Paul, thanks for watching my video. No trick to the drawers at all. Slide the drawer open, at the halfway point on the slides are two black levers on the side. The Right one you lift slightly, and the left one you push down. Then continue to pull the drawer out. When reinstalling, line up the slides and engage them, then push the drawers all the way in and the locks/catches will latch. Start with the smaller ones, they are easier to handle until you get the hang of it.

@@pmr413 Thank you, Pat. 😁

Sounds like some fantastic memories for you and your family. That Ford/Merc brown was an ugly color for sure. Thanks for watching!!!

Thanks for watching and letting me know yours are still going strong. I've had that Craftsman box for 25 years and will be passing it onto my son-in-law.

@@pmr413 Very cool I also passed along a old Craftsman box to one of my friends sons with some old tools , he is 14 and I hope he can pass it along to someone else’s someday .

Hello Dusty, my son found it in Michigan. I don't remember if on Facebook or Craigslist. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the info.

Hello Ty, yes we welded the floors in with a mig welder. It does take some practice so you don't burn holes where you're welding. If you live near a Eastwood store they do offer beginner classes, or see if you can find a class or someone to teach you. It's not that hard but you should practice on something first. Best of luck, Pat

Thanks! I did check the measurement from the mounting flange to the flywheel and it was dead on. If I remember correctly 1 1/4 inches is what it was.

Thanks Howard, I'm really enjoying it. It was down for only 2 weeks but seemed like so much longer. Hoping to get a few more nice weekends before putting it away.

@@pmr413 Im still driving the Galaxie.... and will drive it until the roads are salted.

I agree, I'm really happy with the '38 I picked up. But will miss the F100. I've always been more of a truck kinda guy.

Yea but it was hard to see it go. But it needs to be finished and I know with the work I want to do on the '38 I wouldn't get to it. Thanks for all your help putting this one together. I couldn't have done it without your guidance, knowledge, and help. Pat

It was tough letting it go also. Thanks for watching the videos. ~Pat

Ha Ha!!! There are a lot of lowered cars and trucks in my area now days. It's amazing how styles travel though out the country. Thanks for watching!!! Pat

We used the CV brake switch and we did keep the CV connector from the donor. Thanks for watching...

Thanks Ray, my buddy Dan has been pulling wrenches and building hot rods for over 40 years now.

Thanks
