Thread: 41 ford coupe

Tweet

Well, since somebody - a good looking guy i'll add - brought up flatties and another mentioned Joe's in Richmond i believe they may have a french flattie block or two laying around.

Tim , I have a 41 ford two door with a flathead and I wished I had put a small block in it. I know a Chevy is cheaper and I like Chevy, but a Ford for a Ford it just sounds better. you have to think about a rear end so you can match up to newer trany. I used a S10 with the leaf springs this also help the wave action in the corners.

Hello Hot Rodders. I am also new to this club and also just purchased a 41 coupe in what sounds like the same condition. I have located a 41 frame( the original has rotted out and was replaced with a 80's chev frame) from another HotRodder up my way because I would like to keep it all Ford. I have an 87 Mustang donor with a 5.0 T5 with goodies that I plan on using for the build. I will be following Tim's build to get as much help as I can. I appreciate all input ideas offered.
