'32 Ford Tudor Sedan

[Speedpro]

I thought I was heading too the paint booth. Of course that didn't happen. While inventorying the parts and what not, I found a few things that still needed to be worked on. On the chassis, the shocks needed to be put on. In the front, the shock mounts need to be installed too the frame. At this time the front shocks needed to be shortened a little also as the front was dropped some. At the rear, the upper shock mount was made up and installed. 

 

 

On too the engine as about the only thing I have done is to pick an induction system. A blower from the Nova Gasser was chosen. Being it is a chevy setup, the intake will be modifyed and the blower case parts are but on basakwards to work on the old ford engine. First thing I worked on was the valve covers. The top of the covers were smoothed out and a piece of evergreen stock was glued to the smoothed surface of the cover. The covers will be sanded and glue applied to fill were the two parts came together. To help retain the oil pan, It received two pins to hold it in place during mock ups.  

 

Next up, The headers. I will be using the kit headers. I want them to have a more positive way to mount them too the engine. My idea is to drill holes in the heads, add a small extension on them to go in the holes in the heads. This will be make sure the headers will stay in place during mockup stages. Don't want them falling off while trying to work around them doing the exhaust and such.

 

To finish off the headers, A couple flanges were made up and things were mocked up. I'm happy with how things turned out

 

More engine work to come as I need to figure out mounting the blower now. Till next time........................

Amazing work on that blown sbf. Using anything but the kit intake onto that motor is almost necessary because of how common a double pumper small block ford is. I grafted a flathead tri carb setup on mine.

As for the valve covers, I like the idea of making them taller. My dad runs a set of tall finned ansen sbf valve covers. I will eventually need to make some of them when I get to working on my the replica of my dads falcon.

I like the blower scoop, it really suits your build... Engine and suspension are coming along nicely!

The detail is incredible, Brother! Melding aspects of rod & kustom together on this build seems only natural in the new age of street rodding! I'm so impressed with this build! -KK

I like how you notched the firewall to clear the blower hat.
