'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

Everything is coming together beautifully!😎 I especially like the header modifications.👍

That body is so smooth and sleek! This is going to be so awesome to see finished, keep posting! Nice work

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

I love how you notched the cowl/firewall to clearance the blower scoop to you could keep the engine setback. Great detail.

Elliot, That's a great idea grafting that flathead tri-carb intake to that sbf. Looks like it came that way! Good looking engine.

The valve covers just had to go taller. The engine looked too narrow is the best i can put it. Taller makes things seem wider, which is making the engine look more proportionate to its surroundings.

Thanks David and craig, Actually had a couple other ideas for induction as I wasn't sold on the 4 port throttle body. One of my other ideas was late model fuel injection using fuel rails and a hat. And this is because I didn't want to get into the cowl. But, It is what it is and I am glad two people thought it was cool. Thanks guy's

Like the blower engine - just a question - how do you mount the dizzy with all the other cool hardware

Like the way the whole model is coming together with all the little custom touches

[Speedpro]

Good question Bill, there is a company called speedmaster that has a angle drive dizzy just for this situation. I Built one based on the picture. Only took three try's, but ended up with the one pictured. As you can see, it sit's under the blower and can be adjusted to any angle. For the cap, the one I am using is from the 32 sedan kit. It is for the flathead. Perfect for what is needed. I don't have a picture of the completed part, but the towers on the cap have been removed and a holes drilled for the plug wires.

 

 

I try'd to post a pic from their website, but it was just too big. Being that it's more less hidden under the blower, you just don't see alot of it.
