Sometimes there's nuthin to it but to do it. Love the clip of your rod runnin. Insert it as often as you think of cruising, if you want 😀😀😀 Thanks for the update 👍👍👍
I have a stock 31 model closed cab pick up. However, it has a "B Block". I am having trouble sealing the exhaust manifold to the stock Model A exhaust at the manifold/muffler joint. Any idea on how to do that? My exhaust manifold is not cracked or broken.
Matt: Don't forget that gasket that sandwitches between the block and the bell housing. Also don't forget the bell housing is supposed to be "dialed in" so it's perfectly parallel to the crank flange to avoid clutch chatter. where did you purchase the head?? Are Brumfield Heads still available ??? Used to regularly visit the website "Ahooga" where Larry was a regular "old Salt" on that site. If you could put up with his delays, rather offensive nature, and very volatile political opinions, his product was said to be "the best". Good to hear you're buying stuff from Stipe. His products have always also been known as "absolute best available" !!!

Thanks James !
Nice work on this. I'm amazed at the modern day improvements that can be done to these!
there is no limit on these , other than your pocket book !
I am a Chevy guy but would love to see a time lapse video showing all the tricks on those old Fords and transmissions. Thanks
when i learn them , i'll let you know :)
Looks awesome. Having good parts will make it even better.
thanks Terry , thats for sure !
Good stuff and good update.
Happy Memorial Day and Happy Motoring.

I have a couple super chargers here including one off an old Graham if you wanna get some boost in that thing!!

Nice work, Matt and really looking forward to the belly tank build up.

How much more work/expense(I'm spending more of your money) going away from babbit bearings to more modern bearings? Sweet build.
it's probably about the same in cost as to redo the babbit . Will just depend on the machine shop .
Love your videos 🙂
thank you
Thatsa soo nice! Matt.
Thank you !
Is that some special paint you got inside the crankcase Matt? Your Tudor sure sounds good. Enjoy the ride brother.
it looks like red primer to me , the machine shop did that .
Thanks Jerry :)
NICE !!!!!!
Balanced and 5.1 will be like a race car now. LOL
i hope so :)

yup , did and done .
Snyders , had great luck on the last 3 i did this year
We’ve all been trying to get Larry to go back into production, but no luck. I was fortunate to find a cast iron Winfield 7:1, so I’m happy 😀
5:1 comp...You can run 90% nitro and 50 lbs of boost with that...lol...
don't tempt me ! :P
