  1. This is the general idea.
  2. It is like the instructions on the little block. I sanded it at an angle to get the effect Håkan described above.
  3. Found an intake manifold, bell housing and a manual transmission for the engine. Cast a few parts. Modified the frame of the '37 to accept it. I'll be using big wheels with rubber band tires. looking at ways of making them fit inside the fenders. Ended up narrowing the front suspension. No solution yet for the rears.
  4. I love it Randy. Does the kit offer the Cross Boss in-line carb option?
  5. Take it to the corresponding corner in London and set it up in the street to get forced perspective à la Michael Paul Smith. Bring some earmuffs to tone down all the car horns.
  6. So to be safe it will remain a big block ford, displacement optional.
  7. Not snowing here but nippy. Went for a snowshoe walk yesterday at -35.
  8. Thanks Bill. Turns out it is a 460.
  9. That's exactly what it is. thanks, Stu and have a good weekend.
  10. I am planning to use this engine in my Cannonball Run vehicle. I was just going to call it a Ford big block. However as I start to clean it up it looks like the valve Covers or the heads are installed wrong.So I wonder if anyone here recognizes it and where it is from so I can get the instructions. Much appreciated.
  11. Here's his story; https://guide.michelin.com/us/washington-dc/features/8-surprising-facts-about-the-michelin-man/news
  12. Paul, what is the pink stuff?
  13. There it is folks, warts, smudges and all. I enjoyed this one, except the paint part of course.
  14. Looks like you have to now.
  15. The interior
  16. The chassis is pretty well complete.
  17. Thank you. that explains why there isn't one in the kit.
  18. 1970 Ford Boss 429, OHV V8 (Crescent combustion chambers). 429 Cu.in./375 hp. This is the rating given by the factory and is apparently quite conservative.
  19. It'll be one of them "long hooded" Jeeps.
  20. X2
  21. Rex are all Boss 429 batteries in the trunk?
  22. Nice. I am impressed with all that plumbing. wish I could do that .
  23. Nice job. I wonder how difficult it would be to convert to the ‘67-‘68 version.
