429/C6 in my 55 f100

 

Ok so I have a question? I have a 1946 chrysler windsor and I have a 351 windsor. My Idea is to have a windsor powered by windsor. the original chrysler motor is junk and the 351 is just sitting in the shop. My question is will I have to change the rear end. I am going to run a 3 speed od with it. What speed will it go with the stock 46 rear??? I am just building a crusier not a race car but would like to drive down th hiway at good speed

 

I have some Ford powered Fords; '62 Bird w/390, '50 Club Coupe w/Flatty, '56 Bird w/ 312 Y-block & toploader, '36 pu w/5.0 (under construction).

 

46poncho;I would think that if you drive it sanely and smoothly you should be OK.I think the three speed will break before the rearend!I have a couple of friends running three speed/ODs and stock rearends in 50s Fords with 289 and 302 engines that have not had any issues! ROY.

 

Here's a pic of my 429 (backed up by a C6) that's in my '58 Ranch Wagon.

 

Here's my Italia.



Some call them Italian Cobras. They had Ford power-trains. Some were even assembled by Holman Moody under the name Omega, but they took too long. I checked with Ford to find out what the factory option number meant. They said it was everything from the radiator to the rear end. They had the best small block for the year, mostly top loaders, and a 8 or 9 inch rear. They weighed less than 2,600lbs.

 

LOVE the '54 Ranch Wagon!!!!!!!! "54 was one of the best looking offerings from Ford, during the 50's. GREAT job on that .......

These are some pictures of my model A coupe. It was built by a fellow hamber ( Razor ). It's powered by a 302 Ford with a C4 and an 8" maverick rear. I've made a couple of minor changes since I bought it and use it as my daily driver.
