1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread

[randyr]

This morning I sat the hemi in there to start getting an idea how it's going to go. Now I need to put the steering column in so i can get the steering back on to set the engine height.


Here's why the X member will need to be redone. This trans is pretty dang long compared to the TH400 that was in here before.



I'll pull the engine back out after I make a mark on the fire wall so I can start cutting for the bell housing clearance. Once I get the engine and trans where I want it, I can remove the body and get to the X member.

Looks like a daunting task, Ryan, but you're just the man for the job!

Heck, that tranny is so long you won't even need a drive shaft, just hook it up directly to the rear end!!
