I have a M ll front end on my 46 chevy truck. Its the old type with the strut that goes back to the frame. The control arms are hacked up and I want to replace them. I came across a set of new tubular control arms and alden coilover shocks, and I bought them (good deal, couldnt pass it up)...

This looks like it will be paying the rent for the next few months. A friend of a friend has had this Model A since he was 16 yrs old. He is 60 something now and just wants to have it to mess around with. Its been in a storage shed costing $250 a month for several years now because his wife wont...

This was on a car at the Hollywood Hotrod Open house today. I have seen it before and there is a company that makes a unit with a chain sealed inside. It would solve a lot of problems. I have heard some dont think its safe. I like it. What do you think?

My drive shaft is very short. From center of U joint to center of U joint is 14" or 15". Thats it. It seems that my trans points slightly down, the pinion can point anywhere I want it to because I havnt made the brackets to hang it yet. The thing is, it seems that the pinion will be slightly...

I have several springs but the main leaf is too long in all of them. Could the main leaf be shortened, them put back together (welded) and clamped into the center perch? It could also be pinned next to the weld for extra piece of mind. Is this ever done? __________________

I am hooking a radiator to the 60 hp engine I have on a stand to test it. Under the exaust manifold in the front of the motor there are two threaded holes for the water to go to the bottom of the radiator. My question is, what threads into those holes? I have what looks like a threaded pipe...

I just saw Barberochris got a new (old) truck. Someone mentioned that it had an FE motor. Whats the deal? What is an FE motor? Are they desireable? All of them or just a select few? When were they made? Are they identified by the head and intake joining under the valve cover? A buddy has...

I want to start this motor and run it for a while on the stand to check it out. I only have a 12 volt battery and dont want to buy a 6 volt bat just for this test. I know the starter will be ok but how about the coil? Thanks:D

My new 37 Ford needs an engine. Cost is a large consideration. Rebuilt and perfect is NOT a requirement. I will be driving it daily (local) What engine would you use?
