Yeah, and a darn awesome well proportioned T Bucket with a Chevy in it too. Interesting how I enjoy winding up some of those who are strict Fords in Fords but when I was building my Anglia I was looking out for a Ford Windsor engine for it but when I came across the 350 Chevy going for a song due to a messy divorce, I was in, and I can't sing. Before that I had always had Fords in Fords. My T Roadster came with a 350 Chevy so is staying that way.
I maybe a little crazy but it stops me going insane.

Hi, If the FMX gives you trouble, put at least a C-6 in. Some of the old FMX's run better than people give them credit. Good Luck.

I agree, the FMX is highly under-rated by folks. Rebuild it and it should run for another 40 years.
You can do the rebuild yourself.. it's pretty easy actually.

I figure if the FMX can pulling a 74 full size Ford around, it can handle 38 tudor.
It had a dual vac. modulator on it, but I put a single modulator on. I think the other vac. port has something to do with the egr valve. It's been 25 or 30 years since I rebuilt an automatic.
You guys have some nice rides and projects.

It's been way to many years but.. I "think" the other vacuum port aids in the downshift/upshift points when decelerating. I'd have to go do some research and verify that.. but I think that was the purpose.. I haven't touched a FMX since the mid 80's! LOL..

Randyr still has a SBF in his 37 I believe. My 40 Tudor had a typical SBC/TH400. I was going to go with a ford power plant, but decided to go Hemi. Now it is powered by nothing. Haha I have had thoughts to going to a 390 or 460 ford, but I decided to just keep what I have since I have 80% most of what I need to get it at least running and driving. It's in the project list. Hopefully this winter is the winter of the 40.
Besides, I can't keep anything brand specific. Everything I have has a dodge engine in it if you want to get down to the OEM branding.

Hey Denny, I don't know how I missed this thread but since I've been referenced by 40Deluxe, I should probably chime in.
I have a '37 tudor humpback that my dad & I built when I was in college. We went Ford in a Ford from the beginning using a 302/C4/9"rear ('57 Ford). It was a challenge to shoehorn everything in there but we did it. I didn't say it was pretty, but it was very functional. A few years ago I began another rebuild of the car. I kept the 302 (now warmed up a bit) but switched to 3 pedals with a T5 stick. While at it, I put in a recessed firewall, new floors, etc....one thing always leads to 1000 more! Ha! Anyway, hopefully, I'll get it finished one of these days!
If money was no object, I think I would consider selling the 302/T5 and squeeze the new Coyote 5.0/6speed in there. I think that would be great fun!!
Welcome to CHR! Look forward to seeing pics of your '38!
Here's pic of mine....

C'mon big fella...........step up...........a decent take out for the Coyote only runs $10-12k. Dig up one of those cans you've got buried in the back yard!! Originally Posted by randyr

Ok gang. It's been awhile. With everything that was going on taking care of my mom's affairs and making a few needed mods to the Healey, it was June before anything really got rolling on this...
