Princess Auto Rat Rod
Is gone home. One of the staff owns the car and is working on it getting it ready to go cruising with this summer. Turns out it is a 1926 T, one year newer than my 27 T Touring. His should be a blast on the street and a really cool rod.

Too bad it still isnt on display, but at the same time nice to see the guy is doing something with it. You guys know what I mean, its like the hot girl that ya hate to see her go, but love to watch her walk away!

Nooooooooo, 51 it doesn`t have a Ford motor, it has a 327 which is too bad. The owner wanted really wanted to have a flattie but he thought the $3/4000 for a rebuild was too much. Too bad but it works for him.

I would rather have a 302/351 if I was building a rod. Sbc are ancient news and totaly over done a long time ago. They never did belong in a Ford. Ford tuff with chevy stuff isn`t my way of thinking.

Id just like a decent rebuildable motor and tranny for my Rat. And beeing a Rat Rod it must be realy cheap! It should be Ford to go along with the dodge body and cheby rear end. I guess it does have a mustand front end. So it not all bad right now.

To soup up a Flattie V8 is a rich man`s game for less power than a stock 302! Remember that`s it`s a 60 + year old fragile piece of metal with only 239/259 cu inches. It can develope hair line cracks in the block between the valve seats or blow up even if you don`t soup it up. 
Better to spend the huge amount of money that a rebuild will cost and leave it fairly stock. It`s a neat, rare nostalgia motor with unique flavour. A friend has one in his fine Model A fenderless rat rod from in the 60`s.
