Don't know of a site, but you can contact Lin Stacey, the EFV8 Club tool advisor: linstacey@sbcglobal.net

The information is very scattered, though you can get a good start from your parts manual!
I have slowly collected a whole mess of tool info, largely from old V8 times articles, over the years and feel like I have a handle on the stuff now, but there is no single neat source.
My first tools, and nearly all my tools for a very long time, were the factory kit from my '48. My Father bought the car new, and it was an export car that got the whole array of tools including the ones that Ford stopped supplying for free during the late thirties.
For a single source, there was a good overview article in the Times maybe 5 years ago, and of course you need the club resto book matching your ride for some good details.

And if you're ever close to NYC, you can root through my 10 pound box of tool info...
By the way, a '32 original kit is most of a good, functional road kit; the '32 jack is a good design with a low hook for front axle and a high hook for rear axle.
