If you’re tackling most of a rebuild yourself, it’s easier than ever to find parts, thanks to the Internet.
You just type “Flathead Ford V-8 parts” into a search engine and dozens of sources appear. Many of the
bigger suppliers, such as Mahle for pistons and Clevite for bearings, do not sell direct, so you have to
search out their retailers. The good news is, parts are fairly plentiful. However, the market is constantly
changing.
