FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

You need to make a decision of what you want to do with the car, before you purchase a motor.

If all that you want is a good touring car, you could install the 59A engine or the 8BA engine. Either one will fit in your car.

If you intend to have the car point judged you will need to find an engine that is correct for your car.

Because you are inexperienced, I would suggest that you buy an engine that has been rebuilt, not one that has been sitting long enough to accumulate lots of rust. The advantage of buying a rebuilt engine, is that it will have been checked for cracks and other damage and the rebuilder should stand behind it.

If you live in the Midwest, contact

Automotive Engineering, John Wolf, 319-361-3424, IA.

He has a fairly large collection of rebuildable cores and has a good reputation.

Fred,

The first thing you should do is put your general location in your profile, something better may be just around the corner. I agree that the engine looks pre '48 but that is a good thing, they go in easier. If it was my car I would look for a 21 stud but it depends on what you want to do with the car. By the way, what do you intend to do with the car? What is wrong with the engine that is in it now, or did you buy it without an engine?

I recently purchase a 33 Ford that needs an engine and I don't know much about flatheads. I have someone that wants to sell me an engine that they are saying is an 8BA out of a 1952 truck (please see attached picture) But when I look at the heads on the engine it says what looks like 59A. Could someone please advise if they think the attached picture is an 8BA or a 59A. What is the difference between the two, was one a newer style than the other? Also what year did they move the distributer from the front of the engine. Really confused on the 8ba and 59A thing. Also if this was a 1952 engine wouldn't have cylinder head bolds and not nuts as seen in the picture. Thank you, Fred Algieri
