Greetings from south central FL.
I work on boats for my day job. Try to go fishing or diving when I can, and then there are the projects. Two of them are my brothers cars. He has a 79 Trans that mostly needs the interior, and a 67 GTO clone that is a complete frame off, and the frame is still off. Both of those cars are very nice, or will be when completed. My project is a 51 F1. At this point in time it is in pieces, but I have all the body parts and most of it is in very nice condition. The bed is rough. The front fenders are rougher. I have had the F1 for maybee 5 years. I am getting the itch. Originaly I was putting a Ford 460/429 in it. The frame is boxed and has a mustang ll type crossmember in it. I have no front suspension parts. The problem with putting any of the ford motors that I have is that they are all in baskets and need total rebuilds. So what do you think about this combo? 413/440 torque flite 8, jag rear. Both dodge motors run, the 440 will smoke the dullies on the old motorhome that it in.
