1952-59 Ford Firewall Project

Took a while, but love it when a plan comes together. Few little 'fix-its' then on to paint!
More room for that Boss 351C!

 

Much more refined than using BFH. Like it.

 

Wow! Very clean! All your measuring and hard work paid off

 

very, very nice! I remember those days, taping and masking everything else to spray the firewall. Looking good.

say, what is the plan for the heater core - did you put a separate box in there or just decide to paint the interior of the original box the firewall color?

 

Thanks all! the box where the og heater was will house the digital timing box (fuse box is on the inside of the box)....aftermarket heat inside.

 

its a heater cover inverted and welded in - instead of just a flat plate.

 

Very nice!

 

Well...stuffed it in! Power brake booster may have to go....looks gigantic!

 

From this view it looks like at least an 8" This may be more compact https://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-7-Du...519387?hash=item3fabb2289b:g:UjEAAOSwQcZbnYYJ

 

...or one of these painted up to get it out of the way.

Thanks all. Powdrdotcom...that's the one I have. Its close - but I've decided to go with it and just change to a shorter valve cover. Have roller rockers but no girdle so I can shave the height.
Funny how you plan everything out....then it works...but then you panic because everything looks so much bigger and closer from parts in the garage vs on the car! Does everyone do that....or just me?!
