1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread

[40FordDeluxe]

How about I just start looking for a nice, low mileage PRIUS, I can trailer it up to Iowa, drop it off with the title and load up the old '40, the Hemi, and all of the associated stuff that's taking up your space and worrying you about fuel economy?

Laugh it up while you can. You can keep the Prius or any rice crap for that matter.

So how many of you rich retired guys drive your 8-9mpg street rods daily at over 60 miles per day? Like I said, this car will be driven and I want to "try" to get the best milage I can. It'll help me be able to drive it. I was able to squeak 15 out of the 377 TH400 combo, but it was no power house. I could go EFI but there again, my budget is low. It'd be nice to be able to load up in it and head for Texas or what ever and not worry about a lot of things. I'm addressing all the things that didn't get fixed before so it should be a lot easier to take it farther away. I was constantly repairing it before. Now it should be un presidentailly solutioned so to speak.
