Bump.
***SOLD*** For sale: 1954 Ford Mainline Business Coupe Kustom/Hot Rod. Finished in satin blue with a metal flake roof and custom pin striping...
Thanks! Sad to see her go, but time to move on. I posted it up here on HAMB as well......
I'm running a Champion aluminum 2-row radiator (model EC340) for a 67-69 Mustang, along with a Flexalite electric fan; works like a charm. All I...
For sale: 1954 Ford Mainline Business Coupe Kustom/Hot Rod. Finished in satin blue with a metal flake roof and custom pin striping inside and out....
I'm running 30" (L) 2" (D) Smithy's (model# H3012) on my 302 and they sound great.
It lowers it (compared to stock), and because they're a more modern progressive spring, the ride quality is MUCH nicer.
It's pretty easy IMO. Most of the time I don't usually even use a coil spring compressor, but you probably should for safety sake. Also, this...
<single pot master cylinder.
You might check the engagement depth on your starter... I had to add a shim on my starter to make sure it was engaging the center of the flywheel...
Looking good man! Did you ever try out that EZboy seat cover? I have a '54 that needs new seat upholstery, seems like a great option if it would...
Is the '56 tunnel different than the earlier models? I have a T5 in my '54, and it fit without any tunnel modifications using the stock...
I'm running a 302 with T5 using Falcon 260 mounts, which located the engine just perfect (for me) for clearing the firewall and using the stock...
The condition of your springs makes a difference as well. I have 4" blocks on mine, and with the current (brand new, stock height) springs I have...
Not a great picture, but you can kinda see mine here. I just used some 1/4" heims and a rod between the stock firewall pivot arm and the linkage,...
Here's a thread about speedo cables that might be helpful, including some PNs for cables and help selecting the speedo gear....
I'm running '63 Falcon 260 mounts (Anchor PN 2220/2221)... I'm running a T-5 and I found these mounts set the engine a little lower and further...
I'm running the 67-69 Mustang/63-69 Fairlane radiator on mine, specifically a Champion 2-row aluminum one, PN EC340. Couldn't be happier. I just...
For that kind of money it might be worth looking into a Jeep or Borgeson box.
Could be worse... like an apartment with a detached 1-car garage and no driveway, and association rules that prohibit working on cars. :)
I'm running a 2" dual system with 23" Smithy's on my slightly warmed over 302 and couldn't be happier... as others have said any larger and it...
Correction... I actually just found the exact kit I used, it's actually the "Energy Suspension Transmission Mounts 4-1101G". [img]
I'm running a T5 behind my 302 and I didn't have to modify anything (other than cutting a hole in the floor). I'm using the stock crossmember in...
I'm running a 28" GM style tilt column on my '54 with a Borgeson box, I used a 2" column drop and that set the column almost perfectly in-line...
Nope, just through the outside... it's pretty beefy sheet-metal there, and these spotlights aren't very heavy. Thanks! This is with 4" blocks in...
This is probably the closest one I have. I'm in a different city than my car at the moment, but once I get back I can try and get a closer pic if...
I've got one... make sure to mount it far enough forward, probably right at the lead edge of the window would be good. Mine was mounted by the...
It would be pretty easy to just add a bulkhead barb fitting to the reservoir as well if you didn't want to run a 'T' in the line. The flat area...
