51 ford sedan- selecting motor- SBC or SBF
I just picked up a 1951 Ford sedan. The car will have a M-II front clip. The guy who is installing it for me has asked me what motor + trans I plan to put in it. I was debating between a small block chevy (350 probably) or a small block ford (5.0 or 4.6). I was thinking also about going with a fuel injected motor (maybe out of a newer mustang or camaro). Any reason I should go one way or the other? Or is it just personal preference at this point? Any way easier or cheaper? Does one brand have a better tranny to choose from (auto)?Last edited by fusion_ta66; 10-05-2005 at 08:52 AM.
My grandfather, mom's side, drove a 39 Plymouth coupe when I was about 4 or 5 and I thought it was pretty cool and I loved the tail fins on the 49 Cadillac. I drew cars when I was in the 5th and 6th...
How did you get hooked on cars?
