Picked up the '28 A frame in October. Then picked up the body in February. Started work mid February and here's were I started.

Cool, looks like you've got your self a nice project. What'd you planning for a motor and trans?

[89johnny]

Thanks! I have a 302 sbf with a t5 trans. Engine has some goodies. Lunati bracket master 2 cam, gear drive, and flo tek aluminum heads. I'll post some pictures once I get the block painted and put together. Also I'll get some good shots of the frame once I can get it out of the garage.

Good start on the project.
Are you gonna leave it tall ?

 

[89johnny]

Thanks! Not gonna leave it tall. Gonna chop probably 4 inches and see if I like it there.

Started taking the 302 that was going in the 27 apart today. And came across bad news for me. The number one cylinder rod had just as slight bit of play at the crank. None of the others had this. So now the idea is to take the motor out of my 82 mustang which is a 351 windsor bored 30 over. So slight change of plan but still gonna be a ford within a ford. I work 24s the next three days so I won't have any new progress.

 

[89johnny]

Little frame work.

 

[89johnny]

Some more.

 

[89johnny]

Pan hard par.

 

[89johnny]

That's it so far. One more bracket on the lower control arms and it will be a complete roller.

 

[89johnny]

This is the small block ford I put together for the T.

[89johnny]

Old Iron: I used a lunati bracket master 2 cam. 512 lift and 292 duration. Should sound beautiful!

Yeah the pics do make the body look super small.. It really looks bigger in person!

I probably asked this before on another cam post ... but do you have to have studs and a stall converter to run that cam ?

I wrote it down some where on the other post ,, of the size of cam I needed , but I can't find it now .. I have a stock engine and converter , and I want the biggest cam I can get ,, not for racing I just want it to sound awwww-some
