The FL300 is a short FL1A.
Hey man the 302 you have will work well with two modifications. Even with the pan you have you'll need to modify ( as in drop) the center of the...
I wonder if the curators envisioned small block chevy powered `32 Fords on the front lawn when they broke ground for the place? Great pics though...
Happy Birthday Rik!
Wow Rik what a great story! Thanks for the pics and info. You're a gem!
Hey I have been enamored with this since I saw this pic over on another thread called "A Tale of Three Chops". Does anyone have more pics and info...
This may come as a surprise to some people but there are individuals who will do the work to maintain the continuity of their ride. Square peg...
With all do respect sir the Y-block went away for reasons that I doubt you and your Chevy buddies could ever understand. The first is that the...
OK today I was able to get a few pics of what I'm talking about. Maybe this will help. We had my buddy's Flathead powered `47 Ford conv on the...
Yes and the power to weight ratio increasingly sucks with each and every example you give.
Best I can do in a pinch. Follow link and click on pic of `40 Ford with SBF. You will notice stock firewall and it is using the front dress I...
I am looking for pics. Can't remember where I have them. A picture is worth a thousand words as they say.
Probably because the entire engine was placed behind the front crossmember instead of locating a small portion of the engine above it. If you...
Are you using stock front suspension or is the car riding on a Mustang II frontend? What are your intentions for the car? Small block Fords fit...
Hang in there. Prayers going out to you and yours.
Great job on you F3!
I'm on my phone so I can't see perfect detail but it looks like the front block face is in line with the spindle centerline. If you dish the...
That is absolutely badass! Good luck with your project. I don't understand why you didn't see more MEL engines into early Fords back in the day....
Hey wait, why not cut the crossmember instead of the firewall? Yeah, if you could remove the center section of the front crossmember and put a...
Happy Birthday Denise! Have a great day. :)
The one area you will need to address for sure is oil pan to front crossmember clearance. The easiest way is put a deeper crossmember center in...
I'm very sorry to hear this. My heart and prayers go out to his family and friends. RIP Randy.
Ok you have piqued my interest. What is this big Ford going into? In my opinion it is best to keep everything as tight and compact as is possible....
You're welcome! Good luck and post up pics if you can.

What Detroit produced engine made more real power than the supercharged 312 Fords in 1957? Yes I know they were advertised at 300hp but in reality...
Holler if there is anything we can do for ya. I'm no expert like some guys on here but I have had some luck getting them running none the less. I...
Wow! thanks Phil that's incredible. So cool to see the concept in finished form. I'm gonna have to check that out. Thankyou very much!
I think I have one or two scans of small photos of it all installed on my test engine. I gotta dig around for them. As far as supply pressure goes...
May I say that I had plenty of help from a person with real engineering background. It certainly would not have been possible without him. I...
