Hi all, I have registered quite some time ago but only now I`m back working on some of my cars (50 Ford coupe, 32 3 window, model As +). The 32 is just in storage and is a long term project. Plans are for a flathead 8ba with s10 T5 or inherit a 283 form the 50 coupe. The 50 is a running driving car, has a SBC/ th350 but they were swapped in the mid eighties and need work. Leak oil everywhere, engine mounts are loose and where just poorly done. Plans are to put a SBF and a T85 3speed with R11 overdrive to keep the column shift(already on the works). Pic of the 50 is my profile image. Eventually will need some info on the T85 swap, linkage etc and as the time arises will post again. Thank you all in advance Daniel
Welcome to the discussion. I see you've been a member for ten years, but this is your first post. Looking forward to the build of your shoebox. Welcome from Illinois.
Hi Phil, yes that`s right, quite a while!! I will post more stuff from the shoebox as it moves along. Dan
Dan, I'm in Central Florida and have a friend that is moving his workshop and cleaning up in the process - he's about to toss 7 or 8 flathead Ford motors in the dumpster... If you have any interest - let me know quick before he s****s them. There is also a Ford 302 fully ***embled that was running great when put in the container I'll try to post a pic I took yesterday when I was over there.
