Just a short post to introduce myself, seems like the polite thing to do. My name in Taff, and I live in a town named Winsley here in the UK. My interest in the froum is as a means of gathering knowledge on the beautiful blue straight six motor that I am going to fit into my 1926 Model T coupe. Always loved six's (prefer them to V8's if I'm honest, and I've got a V8 in my Cadillac) and I always wanted a S/Six powered hot rod.
I have got nearly all the running gear out of a '49 pick up (motor, 3 speed box, both axle's, wheels, tyres, steering and pedals) and over the next few months I will be building it all into the new T frame which we just built.
Most questions will be about tech knowledge, specifications etc, as I don't have as yet any tech manuals fr the motor and box. Any suggestions?
Hope to be able to give as well as take on this forum.

I would look for a shop (and maybe an assembly) manual for a 1949 Pickup.
Here in the states, we have several different publishers of repair manuals (Chiltons, for one) which could be helpful to you, also.
We always like pictures, and there are a bunch of people around that know what's what. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 69 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 69 | Hi Taff

It'll help you with some of the features used here in the Forums. Also ... please feel free to send your pictures and story for a Gallery submission. If you have more pictures to show, we just ask that you list them as a "link" to an image (use the URL button on this page) rather than an image itself. We have a lot of folks on dial-up. It's painfully slow, especially if it's a popular thread. Welcome to our Virtual Garage. New guy takes out the cookie wrappers (we shoud add that to the Manual)  Peggy M
