How to Rebuild & Modify Ford Flathead V-8 Engines (Motorbooks Workshop)

Nice book

well written and easy to follow.

This book explains the history of the Ford Flathead V-8 in a very good format. There is a lot of info about hot rodding, but a lot about the stock parts too. Any one restoring or hot rodding a Ford flathead V-8 will enjoy this book. It is the sort of book that could accumulate a lot of greasy fingerprints.

Keeps husband busy when he’s slow at work

Great about building a top-quality, semi-full race flathead. Doubt many people will go to all the work outlined, nor have the facilities or tools to do so.That's a big, expensive, project. I'm guessing $ 6K minimum.

Initially I found this to be missing some information like torque patterns for head bolts (it is in there), but after reading Tony Thacker's book I came back to this one and found it had way more information than I had originally thought. Well done book and a great compliment to the other one, together they make a great pair.

This book is has about the same information as the first book I bought titled "Ford Flathead engines-How to Rebuild and Modify.

Somewhat helpful

A great source of info for post-38 flathead hot rodding. Good detail and advice.

An amazing book. Excellent examples of the various Ford Flat Head V8 engines and all their nuisances throughout the years of production. Great photographs and clear concise step-by-step easy to follow instruction of how to strip down, inspect and rebuild this classic motor. I would have never found some of the well hidden bolts if not for this book. Some of the resources referenced were no longer available, but that is only due to age and businesses closing over time. Beyond that, this is an excellent reference book to have on hand before you buy your motor or if you already have one on hand.Highly recommended if you are starting in on a Flat Head V8 of your own.

Lots of step by step photos. More geared towards the modification of the engine that a straight rebuild

This book is great. Lots of photos to reference. Converting a 40ish tractor, got the engine, now to use this book to go through it and get it working properly. Thanks also for the quick delkvery, in time for a last minute birthday idea.

Good book
