new kid from ny

Hi, I am from ny and i just bought a 1947 ford 1 1/2 ton pickup.
I am shooting for a modern rat rod style. Right now it has a flathead v8 with a single barrol carb. I am looking for anyone that has any info on what i need to do to put a 302 small block in it. Can i buy some motor mounts to bolt right where the flathead mounts. if so can some one tell me were thanks. I also have the flathead that came out of the truck forsale.

 

sorry about the term rat rod i guess it would be more like a low rider hot rod when im done

 

Thats alot of truck. It will look real good low. good luck.

Welcome from So Cal!

 

Hi there! I'm from NY also-from what part do you hail? I'm in Southwestern NY, near Jamestown and still looking for a project truck. I think you may want to go to killbillet.com for some more ideas on how to get your truck looking the way you want.

Looks like a great start on a project--hope to see a build thread sometime! What's the status of the flathead? Will it turn over?

 

no the flat head wont turn over i am converting it to a 5.0 carb setup
