I have a set of plans to build a Ford Model T hot rod. They only give you the Che**y motor mount plans. I'm sorry, I want to put a 302 in it. So now I have to fab my own motor mounts.
It just makes me sick.

As for the Model T plans, have you tried [link:www.nationaltbucketassoc.com|The National T-Bucket association]? My dream is to build a custom "T" with a tuned port, nitrous aided, fire-breathing, alcohol burning 460 (Tim Taylor grunt). Gas mileage would be on a 1:1 ratio, it would beat me to death at stop lights, it will cost a fortune; but it will beat the pants off a chevy any day!
Speaking of 460's, At a local show, I saw a (I think) '32 Ford 2 door, or 3 window, or something like that, with no hood, and a 429/460 (I can't tell the diff.) Edelbrock intake, 2x4 carbs, twin centrifugal superchargers, and one of the wildest cams I've ever heard running out through dual 4" sidepipes! I just about *let it go* when I saw that one!

Fatforty,
Well, I still haven't gotten the pictures from the guy with th 66 here in texas. But have run across an excellent deal on a 65 in Arizona. 390 auto, new paint, no rust. Excellent shape, for $4,500. Ready to roll. THis other truck needs a windshield and the interior redone. So, for $500 less money I think I might look forward to going to arizona.

Yes, I've done some research through them. The plans that I have came from California Custom Roadsters.
I'm just going to use a 302 (I hope with the Mustang SEFI Setup), That should be plenty of power for me.

I don't have a story that horrendous. This is a why I stuck with Ford trucks. About 15 years ago I worked for a towing company. It was a small place with 3 trucks, 1 FORD and 2 of the other guy. The boss calls me at 1 A.M. to see if I could go pick-up this brake down, I asked why (it was -20 degrees) His and the other drivers truck won't start. I went out and turned the key she moaned and groaned but she started. From that time on I've been a faithful Ford truck fan.

chevy's 350 is a cheap engine, and i have heard that it's easier to bolt up than a 351. go figure. i still hate seeing a beatufiul ford with a 350 in it. it's just dumb. and i do agree with the haed thig too!

My favorite line at car shows...
"Too bad it's got a scrub in it,
otherwise, it'd be a cool ride..."
They always seem ticked off when I
say that...
