Don's is the first SBC converted old Ford I've driven and I have to say is was an enjoyable experience however, nothing (in my opinion) can improve on the experience of motoring in a Flathead Ford V8 with all it's unique attributes, sounds, smell, feel, etc. I would not rule out installing an OHV V8 in an old Ford but I'd prefer something other then a SBC, say a 292, 312 289, Buick Nail Head, Early Caddy OHV, early Olds V8, etc. I'd also stick with the stock suspension but that's just me. As for the tour, I’m not sure if he is ready for an extended road trip just yet. If he drives the truck over this Saturday I’ll try to get some more detailed photos of it to post.
