Description

Few new engines in automotive history have been as quickly embraced by performance-minded gearheads as was Ford's V-8 in 1932. Deuce roadsters were racing-and winning-almost as soon as their fenders could be unbolted. When the new L-head version was released motorists of nearly all stripes came to embrace the affordable engine that gave Ford cars performance to equal cars costing several times as much. Ford's vision-and gamble-paid off handsomely and set Ford apart from his competitors. More than two decades would pass-a veritable eon in the automobile industry-before another engine would offer the excitement generated by Henry Ford's beloved flathead V-8. This is the ultimate resource for the Ford flathead V-8 engine. It guides readers through everything from engine architecture to selecting the right engine for the right project, building and rebuilding the engine, and buying a crate engine. Whether you're looking to hot-rod or restore your flathead, this book is a required addition to your workbench.
