Here’s the list of what’s currently done to it. I have lots of plans for it and already have some parts on the way. Blueprinted and Balanced Built 383 Full Roller Motor with 525 hp Edelbrock Air Gap Intake Edelbrock Performer RPM Heads TH350 with Manual Valve Body RJay’s Speed Shop Boxed ‘32 Chassis 9” Ford Rear End 4 Link Suspension with Coilovers Front Disc Brakes Rear Wilwood Disc Brakes TCI Front Drilled I-Beam Drop Axle SoCal Speed Shop Shocks Mickey Thompson E/T Street Drag Radials
First thing on the list is to get rid of the terrible air cleaner and valve covers. Next I'm going to get rid of the block huggers and put on some lake pipes.
Nice looking Roadster, You might want to movie to New part of HAMB , off topic Kustom /Hot Rods wheels & few other things ,might & post probably will get deleted... Think about getting rid of manual Vale body if you plan to drive regular , If you switch to Lake , tie into existing exhaust under the car, Lake kill power & Loud @ your ears
Yea, I don't care for the manual valve body too much. I'm absolutely going to tie into the existing exhaust though. The headers I ordered have the provision on them already.
You know how people can be with other guys cars, we like spending their money. Not sure what "period" wheels you have in mind but those rear tires gotta go, sorry, just one guys' opinion. You will get plenty more opinions I'm sure, at least from those of us that frequent the more "traditional" forum.
I agree, I would like to have some traditional slicks in the back also, but these hook up so well, and on this light of a car, that's important, lol.
Getting better. We customized some new Halibrands for the car and added some M&H Racemasters to the back and old school Michelins to the front.
Is the engine equipped with roller rockers or some valve train that prevents discarding the ghastly covers?
I absolutely hate the valve covers. It does have roller rockers, but I have new finned aluminum ones to go on. I’m about to be changing the intake, so I figured I would just do them then.
