Just having fun... My 57 custom

[Jeff Norwell]

After 3 years from completion... finally have all the bugs worked out on my57 ford Custom.
I had many early Fords.. but always have had a nagging thought of having, building one of these cars
I wanted to stay faithful to use all and only Ford parts.. which was attained up to a 99%.
The only non Ford part is the MSD box.

At any rate... the last issue was the 406 tri power carb set up.. which, is now fully settled.
I run a FE swap... (a 66 Merc 428 PI) mated to a Toploader.
I would have searched for a Y-Block, but I was even more fascinated by the popular early FE swap in the early sixties.

After ironing out bugs in the past 2 years... we have tested it extensively locally and it runs flawlessly...
Looking forward to a fun summer.
(*note) Fuel mileage and FE'S don't speak the same language.


Thanks for listening guys.
