I picked it up today. I'm happy with the results. He did a really nice job without making it look to busy...
Hey is that a Ford Y-Block I see ? I wonder what you think of it ? I am about to build a channelled '30 "A" Coupe with a 292 adapted to a '47 truck trans. My rear axle is a '41 p***enger car converted to open drive line. I think the choice of a y-block is a good one for a light car. 41 Dave
Yep, its a 292 Y Block. I like it. Its rebuilt to stock spec, so it doesnt have the kind of power the 327 in my Roadster has. But it has ***loads of Torque. And it makes this T pretty quick, as long as you remember to shift early to keep the revs down. So yeah, I think it was a good choice for the car, even if it was more expensive and harder to get the parts I needed. And it sounds really good...
Thom McDonald here in Tucson. Thanks for the nice words, guys. I'll p*** the compliments on to him...
Uh Alex, the more you finish this car, the harder it is going to be to let her go to a new home. I can vouch for the torque, the car likes to move out when you shift right. Plus the entire drivetrain and ride are smooth when hauling *** around Tucson's road corners. Great work, looks very good!
You've got a sweet ride, my friend! In fact, my 26' bears a resemblence of your 23'; (colors and all) The dash is especially nice! Cruise often! Cruise well!...it's HAMBER TIME!
