shoopdog Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Great looking build, love the hood treatment, how was that done?
espo Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 Looks like a pretty Gasser from here. Great paint finish. How does the engine and interior look ?
RichCostello Posted February 9, 2021 Posted February 9, 2021 I've always wondered why the cubic inch decal in this kit says 321 cu in, when the 57 Ford would have a 312, and on the boxart it says 312?

Expand I have wondered the same thing. A 312 with an .060" overbore is a 322, and I don't know if it is possible to bore one that much. Maybe a common combination of overbore and a stroker crank?
doorsovdoon Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 That's a good looking gasser. The '57 is my favourite looking car in gasser form.
crazyjim Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 Looks good to me. Would like to see interior and engine pics.
Jantrix Posted February 10, 2021 Posted February 10, 2021 I really like this. The old school gasser racer with a carbon fiberhood, is kind of neat. The decal issue is likely a print shop faux pas, but I like Steve's idea and I'd go with it. On 2/9/2021 at 10:39 PM, Rodent said: Maybe a common combination of overbore and a stroker crank? Expand

Expand Probably this. I went down a rabbit hole today and learned way more about Y-Blocks than I needed to. Should have called my friend Dave, who I have nicknamed "Mr. Y-Block". He currently owns 5 '56 Fords. A convertible that has been in pieces for 10 or so years, but most everything is done except reassembly. Also a Victoria, a Crown Victoria, and two 4-door Fairlanes. All with 312s. One of the 4 doors is a 3-speed with OD. Cool build nonetheless. Kind of like 1964 meets 2021.

Geno Posted February 11, 2021 Posted February 11, 2021 Wow, that bad boy rocks. I dig everything about it. Especially that it's a '57 Ford....love 'em.
