    It's a 1934 221 with an orriginal Thickstun. I bought this engine completly rebuilt, it is all new inside and has never ran. Backing it will be a later Ford three speed. Also going to the 32 "heavy" axle, spindles, wishbones and brakes. Rear end will be a 37-40 unit.


    These pics show it with an Edelbrock regular manifold.

    Simple cars for simple minds.....:p

    Quit ****in' around and get to work on the coupe....with the OLDS! Something that'll keep up with a VW......:D

    That's BAD*** that you drove Bruce's car....I'll admit, I'm a bit jealous. That car, to me, is the BEST DAMN roadster, old OR new........EVER!

    Those two images give me goose bumps!!! C'mon now, is there really anything prettier then an undropped '32 heavy or a '37 V8-60 axle??? I think not!!!

    Chris, I think you are making the right move.. I too cringe at the thought of a heavy axle dropped and drilled..

    I just think the shape of an undropped axle is so much more pleasing to the eye. I think that why I grew attached to the ch***is the Rolling Bones made popular again. I have a nice '32 heavy that is just hanging in the garage for my '32.

    What have you been doing???? I think I'm rubbing off on you dude. You were such a dedicated young man at one time. Get to it!!! I am counting on you to make me look like a complete *** hole by doing a complete engine and suspension swap before I can even put my brakes back together.
