    got it running

     



    Over the summer I swapped the tired 283 powerglide out of my 51 Ford for a 350/350. I got an elctric fuel pump amd finally got everything hooked up. We cranked it and it backfired. Turn the distributor still backfired. Them got it about right. It sounds pretty good through open headers. I am hoping to get it drivable before May so I can drive it to school.

    Interesting to hear you used the camaro front clip on the F1. Most of all the front end conversions are mustang 2 IFS. Love to see some pics. I'm working on a 48 F1 with stock suspension for the time being, but will be putting my new 460 in, in the up coming months(with a ford c-6 tranny). Have you replaced the heating system and if so with what? I figure for now I just want to get mine on the road as well, then focus on the accessaories as money allows!
