I have been reading the discussions on this forum and have obtained a lot of good info. I am working on my '47 Coupe and I am creating a nostalgic early '50's hot rod so I am hopping up my flathead. Does this forum welcome flathead hot rod questions? If it is not welcome, I will refrain. Thanks for any feedback.

If you plan on keeping the car flathead powered, your questions should be welcomed on the Fordbarn.com forum in the Early V8 section. It is a great resource for our early Fords also.

James, many of us have and enjoy cars like yours, and welcome those questions as well as questions on stock flatties. Most of us kinda draw the line at Chebbies, billet, and Jaguar suspension, though. ...Scratch "kinda" and insert "most definitely". Alan

James, all Ford related questions are welcome here. Sometimes the answer to your question may be beyond the experience of the people on this Forum and you would politely be referred to a Forum where you could get a better answer. Tom

Being an old "Geriatric" hot-rodder myself, I LOVE "hot-rod questions" Bring Em ON. Just as Alan stated above don't ask any questions about Chebbies, or non-buggy sprung chassis stuff. Keep it "vintage", and there's a bunch of us how can probably "enlighten" you on how IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE. This message was edited by Stroker on 6-5-17 @ 11:25 AM

You might also try the H.A.M.B. forum: https://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/

There are some members of the EFV8 Club Forum that get their knickers is a bunch every time someone asks a question about any modification to an old Ford, however, the majority of the contributors here-in will gladly answer your questions. I have owned my '36 Ford for over 65 years, second owner of the car. Other than the radiator, drive line and differental banjo, not one mechanical part in the car is original '36 Ford. Every mechanical component is '42-48 with dual carbs/exhusts, etc... You might find the Ford Barn to be a little more friendly to modification questions. the Barn has a lot more traffic where-as the H.A.M.B is more hard core Hot Rod with engines/power-trains that have doubtful parentage.

The pickups did away with the buggy springs in 1942, fyi. ;-)
