It is a 1951 ford and I put the 4" stroke crank with all new rotating****embly in all new valve train in stainless steel so I don't need lead 3/4 race cam hollow adjustable lifters I port and polished the intake and exhaust on the block put baffles In the center ports to stop cross talk and did the full oil filter modifications and I rebuilt 3 stromberg 97 carbs that are on a edlbrock intake I bought the 3" bellhousing spacer off of a merc that I am just finishing welding up because it had some problems I also put the extra support on the center main cap and I put on a harmonic balancer
Now I know I'm going to get a lot of***** for this but I am putting it in a shay model a roadster ever since I could remember I wanted to street rod a model a but I didn't want an original cause I didn't want to chop it up so I looked into kits and they were expensive I got the car for $7000 when a fiberglass body cost was $6000 so I got that car I am beefing up the framework and I put a rear axle out of a 98 mustang gt on it and putting that motor in it with the t5 transmission out of a 92 s10 and everything else on the car will be redone and replaced as I go but I will be able to drive it in the mean time
Looks clean enough to eat out of. Nice work and total project likely to look top shelf too based on this start.
