Ford 302 and AOD into a 51 Ford

[steve fritz]

I just bought a project car , a 51 Ford ragtop , with street rodding started. Front end is done with Fatman stub, rack steering and Mustang II upper and lower control arms with disc brakes. I bought the car without engine and trans and was planning on a 302 with AOD trans.
Are there any good articles written up with details on this swap?
Thanks for any advice , etc
This is my first street rod. Everything else I have ever restored has been 50's stuff, competely stock.

pull all the street rod junk out and replace it with orignal equipment, to bad someone screwed up a nice car.

Brendon - don't beat around the bush on how you feel. LOL

Steve- I think you are on your own. There are kits around if the chassis is stock, but with it modified its a different story. However, you might want to check out Chassis Engineering in Iowa as they have lots of motor? (engine) mounts.

If you go to Fatman site they have the motor mount kits.They say you will have to raise the floor for the trans to clear.
