big motor change to my A

seems to be as you build a car and hunt for all the cool go fast and custom parts some times you find some thing that changes almost the whole direction of the car.

quick summary of the car 1930 ford A pick up

roof chopped 5"
flush fit doors (added 1" to legnth of cab)
suicide doors
streched cab 4"
body sectioen 2"
channeled 3"
1956 f 100 steering box
custom frame
chrome jaguar xke rear suspension
1957 ford fairlane dash

motor here is where the big changes are happening now.
was going to be a 383 sbc with either a 6 2 cross ram or a 2 4 cross ram with a 5 speed

now after a great deal with unclescooby
i bought the twin magnason super charger set up he had
also got a early corvette 427 with scatter shield and a rebuilt hemi 4 spd


I am going to give the whole car an early 70's style show car look

 

this is a bad mock up picture of the car a couple of months ago

 

so does the twin blower go on the small block or big?

looks totally rad man!

 

it is set up for the big block. I hope i left enough roof for the motor to fit between the grill shell and fire wall with out haveing to remake too much of it

 

gunna be quite the little monster!

I've been planning all along for a small block in my A

but I have no small block stuff,

when I look around the shop all I see is big block stuff,

it's hard to resist the temptation to change my path too.

must...stay...focused..

thats why i put the small block in i had a ton of parts for it. most of the big block stuff i had i sold whan i finished my corvette.

run what you have parts for

 

Yeah i seen that sell on E bay. I wondered who was going to use it.

 

Is the jag. rear going to hold any horse power ?????

 

Looks like alot of fun!!!!!

 

Wonder what ever happened with this...
