The H&H legacy dates back decades and started gaining speed when Mike’s father and grandfather joined forces to rebuild and restore early Ford engines ranging from Model T four bangers to flathead V8s. Mike’s been in charge of the V8 division since 2002 and has revamped close to 1,200 engines for customers across the globe. But it’s not just engine overhauls at H&H—they also manufacture contemporary Navarro, Sharp, S.Co.T. and a host of other speed equipment for flathead V8s, V12s and V8-60s.
Herman and Thacker leave no stone unturned and no process unexamined. After leading off with a brief history, they show how to classify, clean, disassemble and build a ’49-’53 8BA exclusively for this book. With hundreds of full-color images and array of instructional tables, charts and diagrams, How to Rebuild and Modify Ford Flathead Engines serves as an excellent guide for all skill levels. It’s a must-have for anyone interested in Henry Ford’s first V8.
