The following is a list of popular FLAT HEAD ENGINE REFERENCE BOOKS
The list was originally on the old board (CR) but I felt it was time to renew the information.

FLAT HEAD ENGINE REFERENCE BOOKS


BOOKS: Here's my list:

1. Ron Holleran's ** - Nostalgia Rebuilding and Modifying the Flathead Ford V8

2. Frank Oddo's - Ford Flathead V8 Builder's Handbook 1932-1953

3. Ron Ceridono's - Tex Smith's The Complete Ford Flathead V8 Engine Manual

9. George McNicholl's - How to Build A Flathead V8 - New Edition - THREE engine buildups (Excellent pictures)

10. Bill Sinclair's - Thunder Road Flathead Guide

Most of these books can be obtained (or ordered) from any of the big box book stores.

** Note: You can purchase Ron Holleran’s book directly from him. He has a limited number of books left after the printing so don’t wait too long if you want his. I highly recommend Ron’s book. Here is his address:

Ron Holleran:
390 Green MT TPK.
Chester, VT 05143
 
Ron Holleran no longer has books for sale. I do have the book on CD for sale, with Ron's permission. Bill
 
Ron Hollerans book Nostalgia

Just an update, I do have the book in stock now. I will take a bunch to Red Deer.
