CE Forged I Beam Axle Front End Kit

Hey all, just wondering if anyone has any experience with this kit, looking at putting disk brakes up front in my 36 Tudor sedan, this looks like the ticket, just new to this so if it is a stupid question, go easy on me.

Ch***is Engineering builds some good stuff and there must be thousands of these front ends under early Fords. For the longest time CE was the only one who manufactured a forged axle, with the exception of getting an original axle dropped. Their dropped steering arm fasten with through bolts, instead of blind bolts like others. You'd be very satisfied with this set up.

 

I have used both the CE set up as well as the Posie's set up and I prefer the Posie's over the CE. Posies comes with disc brakes and their "super slide" reverse eye spring.

 

Ch***is Engineering has a great front suspension setup and this is a quality piece but what are you going to do with the bones?,,do you still have a flathead and the original transmission? HRP

 

I'll take them. LOL HRP always trying to sneak in! LOL

 

Contrary to popular belief I'm not asking the question trying to procure the bones rather point out the fact that if the bones are unmolested they may need to be modified if the car is to receive a different engine and transmission necessitating splitting the bones.

In that case the spring mount on the bones may need to be heated up and bent to be parallel to the spring. HRP

 

CE parts are great--have done a few 40's with their pts--will use again

 

I am heading to the city (Edmonton) in 2 days, going to find a wishbone out of a 37 or up to split and use the CE trans mount/wishbone splitting kit. I do not have the flat head, just the seized transmission.

 

got one in my 35 ,love it
