Hi Theo, I agree stay it is a shoe box,keep the hood closed.I have a 51 shoebox with a 3/4 race some people do not like that but a lot of guys on the fordbarn have built motors Harold Ca.
Nutshell of the day!Here's my take, and how I have used the FordBarn for the past several years..
I have two '36 Ford PU's I'm building, one is similar to your car (Fuel Injected 5.0, Heidts, AOD, 9inch rear...ect) I NEVER ask a question here reagarding my suspension, engine, etc, etc...only things that are specific to '36 PU's.
My other '36 is in the "chassis stage" with a 221 FH, 3spd and open drive rear...not much of deviation as it was originally built, but won't be a "restoration project" either.
I've had no issues asking question about either truck while working on them, but I keep the questions "Early V8" related.
I don't think you'll find help here asking "what driveline should I look for for my combo", or "what radiator cools a SBC in a '49 Ford the best", but Year model question and such will most likely get a helpful reply.
Sure, most regulars here deviate some and it's accepted, but concept of this Forum shoul be respected.
Good luck, as other's have said, stick around...and don't for get the HAMB!
sounds like it's time to install that 22-R motor in my 38'!welcome to the fordbarn. drunkandgreasy you used my favorite catch word "DOUCHBAG"!
