You know that car won't float so you might as well get rid of that boat anchor in the front of it!

I like it, but I think the die hard flathead people won't. If you want affordable power and don't care about the brand, it's hard to beat a small block Chevy.

Jeff...........Johnnyford probably feels a little like I do. My Ford is mostly stock on the outside but has modern running gear underneath. I dont belong with purist flathead guys and I dont belong on this site but I do believe we are all car guys with knowledge that can be shared. Am I wrong?

Nice car. Good luck on completing it. Keep us updated.

In the original post johnnyford acknowledged he had accidentally posted in the incorrect category.
54vicky you are also correct that it now seems only a Moderator can remove posts.
Several months back the author of a post was able to delete their own posts or comments but that is no longer possible, unless you request it from a Moderator.

I would not pay to much attention to the hard case purists that seem to think it is their duty to challenge any comments that are not model/year correct.
If you are looking for parts and/or advise about repairs, etc., to your '36 the '32-53 forum will most likely produce the best results.

oh yeah this is 54 and later i forgot lol
