We wish you and your families a very merry Christmas and Holiday Season.

Last week we had probably our best live swap meet to date. With more than 120 people following it was a huge success. A special thank you to our friend Eastcoast Mike, better known on Instagram as partsswapper and to all of you that made purchases. For those of you who are not aware, we do one or two live swap meets a month that are live streamed on Instagram. Follow our Instagram page to get updates.

Along with some really cool rides that we offer for sale we love flat head Fords and cool speed parts; both are something that we actively seek to purchase and offer for sale. We currently have a large supply of new old stock French Ford flathead blocks and complete engines for sale. Ford flathead engines continued to be produced in France up until the early 1990’s. These engines interchange with the ones that were built here in the US from 1932 until the early 1950’s. The French flatheads were made with modern metal and machining technology and weigh about 40 lbs. more than a US made engine. They can easily be bored and stroked to accept any aftermarket parts made. Those of us who have worked on the old blocks know how frustrating it can be to teardown half a dozen blocks to get a good one. The French block uses a bellhousing like a 59A and the complete engines use a cam and timing set up like the later Ford 8BA. Of course, when starting from scratch with a bare block you can configure the cam and timing for anything you like.  As mentioned above you will need to use a 59A type bellhousing.

Until next time, All the best to you and your family.
