i like the rear the way it is but a boat tail might look cool too,be neat to see done with photo shop
 
Ok I'm not very experienced with anything water cooled. I am using a 1930 ford radiator cover and a 350 small block chevy. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what sort of radiator will fit the ford cover and be able to cool the 350 sbc.

what are the dimensions?
i think i have a good idea.
 
1964-66 mustang radiator will fit in the shell. An aluminum one with an elec fan will cool a mild small block just fine. Speedway sells them for about 3 bills. They are a little short to fill the entire opening in that tall grill so youll have to fab up a 2" filler panel if you don't want any gaps height-wise.
 
i'd say, go suicide with the doors, so when you leave the cab, the exhaust points at you, like a gun, or something.... ok, maybe that's not such a good idea..
 
ok maybe that link didn't work for some reason, see if this way works

got some work done this past weekend...

We got the motor mounts figured out, the engine angle set, and we had to shorten the Z in the front which took most of our time. So here is a few updated pics of where it's at now

The front end I found complete for $250 and is from a 1941 ford, juice brakes, factory drop.....We welded on some batwings, mounted the trailer springs, split the wishbones, cut off the factory swaybar and springs. At this point we have a few extra front end parts...1932 front beam with spindles and cable drums.. PM if interested.
