1952-59 Ford 351W Install in my 1956 Fairlane HT

Just thought you guys would enjoy a pic of the stroked 351w engine I just installed in my 56 Fairlane.

I will post more as I have time.

 

Here is another pic of me getting ready top put it on a trailer to take it to the muffler shop.

 

Looking good! But now I have a crick in my neck from looking at it sideways,I'll be sending you my chiropractor's bill

 

Sorry! I was in a hurry and rotated the pic one too many times. Also noticed my screen shot from my iphone had additional junk in it.

I'll send more pics when I have time. I installed the aerostar springs, shocks recommendation from your thread, Drop'em stop'em front swaybar, Borgeson steering box, ididit tilt column, and so on.

 

I drove mine to the muffler shop....
Looks real sharp, nice work.

 

Serious hot rod! Nice!

 

Forget the pics. I want to hear that beast! Looks bad***!

 

X2, post a vídeo of that hot gal!

 

I tried to post a video of when I first started it. I will try again.

Sounds great! Makes me want to put a bigger engine with open headers in mine.

 

AWSOME!! Love the sound of open headers! Officially jealous

 

Looks great and sounds great, can you share your wheel and tire specs?

 

In the front it is all stock with the Aerostar springs and an ECI disk brake conversion. I'm running 17x7 wheels with 215/55/17 tires. I have no rubbing so far. Keep in mind, I'm running the Borgeson steering box so I don't know if that is much different from stock.

Out back, I have a new Ford 9 inch narrowed 2 inches so I can run 17x8 wheels with 235/55/17 rubber.

Fortunately, I have a buddy that has a 58 Fairlane and a 66 Fairlane. I tried their wheels and did a bunch of measurements before I purchased my wheels.

 

When a Ford motor sounds that good,why in the Sam H would anyone put a Chevy in their Ford ?

 

That sounds killer!

 

Not even a religious type but AMEN to that JeffB2

 

Sounds nice!

 

This is just beautiful... Thanks for posting.
