    just started really working on my 30 coupe, you know how it goes, work all day, and come home and bust *** til you cant keep your eyes open. Welp my plans for this car was to leave it pretty much stock but fender less and hop the banger up, but my brother insist it gets a v8. It took a few months of convincing but I decided I’m gonna make another hot rod ch***is while driving and enjoying my stock coupe. We'll I finally broke down and told my brother to help me find some kind of 50's style V8 or flathead V8. To make a long story short, yesterday we pulled the 239 y block and t5 out of his 54, now its going into my coupe. That was easy, but I did give him another different v8 to put back in his 54. Id like to kept my car as stock looking as possible with unsplit bones and 2 ft off the ground and modify as little of the body as possible. with this being said, anyone have pictures of their coupes or model A's period with a y block? Pretty dang stock looking anyways

  9. Yea. I like this idea as well. I have an old pick up that could be the donor for a lot of the parts, then up date the f100 with an '06 Crown Vic. ****! i'll never get that much done.
