English Ford Model Y

The horsepower tax stunted car development in the UK. Because the stroke wasn't taken into consideration, it led to UK engine development heading down the small bore/long stroke route.

I think a V8-60 would look great under the hood.

In my opinion, if you look at a Model Y and don't think about sliding a V8 60 there be something wrong with you!
This may happen to Blues (wife) Y, I haven't ruled it out. I don't have a 60 here, but do have an ongoing option on one. But the gearbox (transmission) is the hurdle financially. It would have a narrowed Model A axle (got) if it happened. The problem with early Ford gearboxes is, in the last few years become made out of solid gold pricewise, in the uk.

As for the Y parts,Try Horipito wreckers in NZ,they have tons of old ford parts,and as I know from looking for a driveshaft for my 33 that there is a lot of early ford 8 and 10 stuff there.
