This review is from: Rebuilding the Famous Ford Flathead (Insights) (Paperback)
Written a few years before the rebirth of the flathead in street rodding, this book has lots of good basic info to help you rebuild your flathead, or just have an idea of what will happen when you send it out. Not a lot of info on modifying the flathead, better to look for another book for that. Good info, and complete.

This review is from: Rebuilding the Famous Ford Flathead (Insights) (Paperback)
This is a very, very useful reference book about the Ford Flathead. You do know is an older book, still in print and the pictures are good, but not todays standard. I find reviewing some of the old books, I find items offten overlooked by the newer kids on the block(punt) so a well rounded set of books is aways worth having..
