[ATTACH] A ‘40 Ford needs some muscles, more than 85, rather triple that! SBC is perfect, as your paint is, will really show the art deco lines....
Just a thought- If you let the rear two tubes go downwards to where the joint is, you would triangulate the construction more? A bit harder to...
I’ve just measured my ‘66 327, the pilot hole is aprox 15,4 mm deep, thats about 0,6”…. Came stock with powerglide. (As far as I know)
As a rule of thumb, you need to triple the gauge if you want to replace steel (iron) with aluminium. Again this depends on the quality of the...
As always a great pleasure to read your tread! A mix of high end craftmanship, and good tellings of your everyday life in Finland. Always admired...

Thanks T T Tom. That ‘headers’ on the Plymouth made an additional 10 Hp, and the triple intake should be a factory development item. Was fastest...

Hi there- My 40 Ford de luxe project came from US with a 327 and a powerglide. To make the car run I used a Lokar trans mounted shifter, but I’d...
If you can move the wishbone ball sideways, by elonging the holes, you should be able to change the angle of frame vs front axle? But that might...
