  1. Big setup change on the '51 Fleetline: Have a 32/36 dual carburetor setup including intake and exhaust manifolds, plus a modernized (1960's) crank ventilation, removal of the oil filter to raise compression and all new fuel & coolant lines.

    They are tricky little setups to dial in quickly as the intake manifold has to be heated from the T-stat to keep the fuel hot, this can cause some intake velocity discrepancies between the carburetors depending on your intake manifold and choice of heating.

    It has a 235 inline 6 with 3-on-the-tree... Ironically, that makes it drastically larger displacement than the 2.7 going in Bronco, so if size matters..... I win. :cool:
I put the 235 in my 1938 Chevy pickup restomod (since sold), I found the original 50's speed equipment dual exhaust cast iron Fenton Headers, you have to find a pair for your Fleetline, or the modern stainless steel ones in the ebay link below.

Had to get the repop Fentons. However, they only have fitment issues with the Offy intake mani. I'm not going Offy..... I'm going even more cool-guy with my intake....

Edmunds cast aluminum. Notice how it has that tube coming out the side, well that's for the water heat. Outlet is on the other side. Makes the intake drastically thinner in height and no clearance issues for any cast exhaust.

If you're up for a little history, here's the brief 1-page history of Edmunds. Eddie was making hop-up parts for Model T's in the Nineteen hundred and teens years.

Now here's how you store product at Edmunds (probably post-war, late 1940's based on some of the flathead castings and also nailhead products in the image)

RC crawling is a lot of fun! I recently 3d printed this rig and am having a blast around my house.

Since a lot of us are realizing we won't be driving a new Bronco for at least a year from now what are you planning to distract yourself with? I'm thinnking I might get into RC trucks for a while. They've really come a long way since I played with them in the 80/90s.
work, making the presidents list again, seeing my girlfriend off to medical school, and watching the customers ahead of me drive off with their broncos

Swap a freshish 258 and 5spd stick out of my RustJ7 and pay the bodyman everything to save the Eagle.

Then hopefully mid year I can start saving for a down payment on a Bronco.

Always accepting donations;)

I have nothing cool to add. The kitchen and living room remodel was completed this summer. I now have a bath and a half bath to start and redo all woodworking in bedrooms. I'm just too lazy to start. I'm trying to hold off on buying an old square body Ranger to restore. I'm afraid I'll get too deep and have no cash leftover for my Bronco down payment.

I used to have a really fun 92 4.0 5 spd, short bed, 8.8 rear, reg. cab. It was 2wd but it handled several bad snow storms with 2 bags of sand in the bed. Really moved too, I think it had 3.73s.

Oh, I guess roller derby will come back to us at some point. Play co-ed and men's. We lost pretty much the entirety of last season to COVID. It eats up a ton of time with practice and bouts. I may have a few years left before I'm too old to hang with these 20-somethings.
