Excellent... Just Perfect..

What did you use for connecting rod bolts ? Original or Ford 351 W with the edges shaved ?

 

I used NOS.

Question; what cam did you use ?? what intake is that ??/ ,,we used a Howard in the Wayne Headed 302 we did back in '59-'60 ,,along with a Howard intake for the 5 Stromberg 97's ,,
all used parts from a Sprint car that switched to a SB Chevy ,,

Beautiful car man great work. I sure love to see a 32 that isn't a ford.

 

I had the cam made 286 dur. 248 @ .050 529 lift
Howard intake like yours
thanks

 

This car is SICK!!!!

 

I think I saw it in Pleasanton a couple weeks ago. Also, I thought it was at the last Paso in '07?

 

I know this thread is old, but since somebody else dredged it up....

What do you consider the redline of your engine to be with the new pistons? I have a '55 302 out of a dumptruck waiting for my project and it was governed to 3250 RPM. Its a low mileage standard bore that has never been rebuilt so I was thinking of running it for a while before rebuilding it and I'm trying to chose my rearend gears.

Nice Job, btw!

 

I'v never put a tach on it, but it sounds like 7000 Rpms and it dosn't stop pulling, I let off.

 

Awesome!!!

 

who painted it

 

This is one of my favourite rods of all time.

 

Skot, 0ne of best painters in ca. Let me know if you want his number.

beautiful car! i saw it at Goodguys in Pleasanton ....

why does the painter always get the credit, the question should be who preped it? the painter spends a couple hrs in the booth but the body man spends weeks or months getting it ready. unless it was the same guy. LOL

 

Very nice car - have seen it many times - owner is a friend of my brother-in-law
nice guy

 

It's not what I want to say, but, I'm selling my car. I've bilt the best that I could and now It's going.

Man, this thing is clean! Nice work.

 

This car should make people wonder why the ford bodies became the most popular. I hope it does make everybody that sees it know that they CAN build something different than the next guy. This car is truly amazing.

 

Sorry to hear it. It must feel like selling your pet dog, something you don't want to do but cir***stances dictate . . . Your best is outstanding.
You rule ******.
