1952-59 Ford 52 Ford Victoria

Hey fellas,
I just got word of a 52 victoria for sale here locally in Az. My brother's friend knows the guy selling it so I'm hoping to look at it really soon. I really dont have room for another project, but for a vicky, I'll get a storage spot for it. No motor or trans, but I have a spare 272 and 3 speed O/D that I could possibly put in it. Just wanted to let you know that I may be needing even more help with that one. I'm really really excited about it and hope I can get it. This one might have the 302 swap. I'll have to make that decision later though. Wish me luck!!!!

Good Luck hope ya get it

 

A '52 had a whole different front frame from a '54, a Y-block in a '52 is a bear of a job, there is an archive here from a old car mag posted.The 302 swap is much easier if you use a Fox body oil pan it straddles the '52 crossmember like it was made for it.

 

See, learnin already! Thanks Jeff! 302 swap will be happenin then.

 

Let us see some pics when you get some Drag

 

Good luck and post pics if you get 'er.

 

Not gonna have to worry about learning new things for a 52 anymore. Definitely false information given. When I got there, I noticed it wasn't even a victoria. Asked the guy if he had a ***le and he told me they didn't ***le cars back then. Red flag number two. As I got to looking at it, there was rust everywhere and holes throughout the floor. The car was actually a 53 mainline. No sweat off my back though.

 

so, if they didnt ***le them back then, what was that piece of paper i got with mine that had the owners name and address on it, and why did i have to spend a couple hundred bucks to have it changed to my name and address. i think ive been ripped off.

 

Hahaha yep! You totally did! I have no clue what this guy was thinking!
