    Motor for my 47 Ford Build

    1/2 hp 3ph gear motor & VFD

    I have a nice inverter rated 3 phase gear motor 1/2 hp and a Siemens 3/4 hp rated VFD for sale as a set. This setup would be great for somebody wanting to build a bead roller.

    merkur 4 cylinder turbo

    Well the car is mine, I may or may not drive it for a while not sure yet. If I thought I could get a rolling chassis with the motor in it by the "Red Neck Rumble" I'd be pulling it right now. What all do I need to keep from the car? I'm using the tranny (auto) too. I'm assuming I'll need the...
