Pulling My Motor

Thought I'd share a few picks from this last week when I pulled my 59AB out. Check out that transmission! Rebuilt that thing when I was 17 years old with my brother. Haven't ever shifted it into gear. Time to get going on this baby!

Any thoughts on the best gasket kit to use? Going to replace all gaskets and get it back in place.

Cheers!

Most of the vendors carry good gaskets, others may chime in here on this. So out of curiosity why are you pulling the engine?

I'm pulling it to replace all the gaskets, put new leaf springs in, new tie rod ends and weld up the frame where the steering box is. See picks.

When I bought the parts to rebuild my 8ba I bought them from Red's Headers. He supplied Best brand gaskets. They worked fine. Not sure if they were any better than the FelPro gaskets I used in the past on my flatheads. I really think its a matter of personal choice. I've used FelPro gaskets since I was in HS with never a problem and I probably would have used them again but Red's supplied Best gaskets so I went with them.

I haven't noticed much difference between gasket sets. I do like copper head gaskets with cast iron heads, on the other had I have friends who won't use them.
