    29 Ford roadster/chevy powered

    29 Ford/chevy powered Whew boy. Lots a different ideas here and a lot to think about. Movin the rad forward and droppin it down may not be a bad idea. It would only have to go forward 2 1/2" but drop down the distance of the Z angle. That may hinder the cooling properties. Cuttin the frame may...

    29 Ford roadster/chevy powered

    29 Ford/chevy powered Thanks Old iron. I thought of that by maybe running 2 Z angles from the original mount to the new mount in front of the cross bar but that's gonna leave an awful big gap between the radiator and the engine. Any ideas of what to do with that? Won't that also look kinda...

    29 Ford roadster/chevy powered

    29 Ford/chevy powered Ok guys. I'm a little confused and didn't even notice it till mating the trans up to the motor for some mock up. I noticed the top of the trans doesn't have a place for the bolt as the block does. Is this gonna make a difference??[S The engine is out of a 78C 10 and the...

    29 Ford roadster/chevy powered

    29 roadster/chevy powered One more thing Old iron. I ordered a dipstick for an 80 350 and it fits fine. I'm still gonna have to take the oil pan back off and trim a little off of it to get the dipstick to go down into the block far enough. Not a problem but just wasn't wantin to take the oil...

    29 Ford roadster/chevy powered

    29 roadster/chevy powered 05snopro, Yes they are raw cast between the fins. I used the same engine enamel for all the trim. Thanks old iron. I was lookin for either blue or white wires to go with the engine. That engine will be the only bling on the car. The rest will be mat black and when I...

    29 Ford roadster/chevy powered

    29 Ford Roadster/chevy powered Oh yeah.....one more thing. I found out when using an aftermarket oil pan, that I'm gonna have to drain the oil, remove the pan and grind out the hole for the dipstick. There's about 3/16th's of an inch of the oil pan blockin the dipstick hole that keeps it from...
