Hot Rods Any pic's of 302's in Model A's??????

Thinking of running a ford in a ford-any pic's out there of such madness????

 

Running a 289 and c4 in my 30 coupe,and , usually like chevys but this little jewel is so smooth and runs out well,,,,,,

 

putting one in my rpu now, ended up being a litle bigger task than i first planned , nothing major though, ran into issues with the waterpunp being too long and had to order the snow white short waterpump conversion which is 2 inches shorter, luckily my firewall was already recessed about 3 inches . still in the mockup stages now but hopefully no other issues arise !

 

Mine:



These are the only pics I have with the chrome dress-up, but they were taken after the accident.

 

A few (!!) years ago....

 

Hey dirtbag what do you mean by the 'snow-white' water pump-sounds cool!

 

Great pic's guys, I'm starting to get pumped up!

 

Plowboy check out my website . The 23 T was a 351 windsor and the 32 is a 302/347 stroker.

That's bitchin!!

 

man, where do i get a set of those plug wires, i haven't seen those since the 80's

 

theres a outfit outa fresno california that makes a conversion withy an opel waterpump and adapter that will gain you about 2 inches of clearence , ford racing also makes a short waterpump kit also but i believe it will only gain you 1 and 3/4 inches. during mockup i discovered even with my engine set back as far as it could go to the cab my stock length waterpump was going to put my fan into the area where the radiator should be so i looked into the snow white kit which should give me enough room to run a mechanical fan, havent recieved it yet but i will try to post pics when i get it mocked up.

 

I think those came from Summit Racing they're Taylor wires.

keep us posted, would like to see the snow white set up...when you get it

 

I have a '94 302 that I plan on putting in my '28 Tudor. I will be running a C4 with it. Plan on going with a 4" resessed firewall.

 

The Red Roadster Pick up has an Aluminum Head 302 Ford SVO motor with the Ford racing "Short Street Rod Water Pump kit". The Salmon (OK Pink) Tudor has a 11.5:1 early 302 with the Snow White Water pump kit.

 

Here is mine...

 

Need to correct - per Snowwhite..it is not "any" Opel water pump - it is specifically for the Opel GT 1.9 Liter engine (GT is that little thing they tried to make look like a chubby junior vette). Anyway, they provide a NEW Opel pump with their kit, and I just ordered a replacement (pump only) for the 27 T/289 C4 car. Pleasant as heck to deal with.

Thanks for the thread. It was what I was looking for too.

 

Just sold this '29 RPU, here's where it was going. Lincoln 302/C4, 4" recessed firewall, P&J's engine mounts and removable tubular tranny mount. Easy Peasy.

 

Hey D-bag, can't tell what you are doing for a fan?
Water pump?
Thanks. What ever happened with the FE valve cover adapters?
