The Ford Barn

I recently had Michael Driskell at 3rd Gen build me a 3.25 rear end for my daily '37 tudor. I also scored a freshly rebuilt 21 stud engine from him as well. Along with a rebuilt transmission, I recently did 75 mph in that little '37 Ford (GPS proven).

Huge thanks to Michael Driskell. Lots of phone calls, a visit to his shop, a few beers consumed, technical advise and some dirt cheap parts on his end. The guy is good as gold. Now, I'm completely biased because he has become a very good friend. However, he will go beyond the call of duty for anyone. He's not one to seek out attention and may not like my post here. I can not thank him enough and he is what keeps me energized about V8 Fords. Thanks also to Jane Driskell for putting up with my phone calls. These two folks are dedicated, hard workers.

Now, for anyone who has thought about a 3.25 gear set. A strong 221 will make it go. Maybe not in the mountains but for most folks it's a winner. A stroked 59A engine will make it a rocket ship.

Thanks Michael. To everyone else, happy V8ing, enjoy your cars.
