Classic, Custom, Vintage Hot Rod Cars
Here are my links to useful pages I found in my own wanderings:
  • Ford Flathead V-8 This is the best page that I found anywhere on the internet.  It has the history of flatheads, how to hotrod a flathead, flathead chat, vintage ads, reference materials, flathead suppliers, FAQ, and picures of visitors flathead vehicles.
  • Hot Rod 'N Custom Supply  This is a very nice page for purchasing parts and supplies.  If Rod 'N Custom Supply doesn't have it, chances are you won't be able to find it.  This is a truly amazing company.  Order a catalog, it's worth it.  Features hot rod, speed, and custom accessories.
  • The Ford Flathead V8 This page has a little bit of the history behind the flathead, some interesting information about how and why it was designed and built, and links to useful resources on the internet about flatheads.  Not very pretty but extremely informational.
  • Roadsters - Ford Flathead Engines This page has a little bit of info on the authors experiences with a flathead V8 and a motorboat.  Kinda interesting.  The main draw here is a list of around 25 different suppliers, rebuilders, etc. of flathead engines.  Also, this page has a few useful links.
  • Flathead -- The Ford V8 Interesting page with a chart of factory bore/stroke combinations.  This page also has a pretty complete chronology of the changes in flatheads from 1932 to 1953.  It also has some pictures and info on hot rod flatheads, and a few pics of flatheads resting in peace.  Nice touch.
  • Forties Limited of Orange County Ok, so this isn't exactly about flatheads, but I couldn't resist.  This club is just for those interested in '39-'41 Fords.  They had flatheads in 'em, right?  See, I can rationalize.  This club has members all over the US.  This 31 year old club isn't going anywhere soon.
  • Supercharged Flatheads Yup, you read it right.  This page has some info on a supercharged flathead owned by the author, and on a few other interesting flatheads, like one in an airplane!
