I see The Skippah has yet to defend his "there's something better than an LS" claim.... HA! Good luck with that one!

Roy and I did discuss the "Ford in a Ford".... only just because. However, the modern Fords are too wide for the little hot rod noses... and there just aren't a variety of parts so now you get into all manor of custom pieces - thus driving up the cost.
That left the option of doing "old skool" Ford -- such as a Roush -- but his motor prices are beyond ridiculous... AND I met a guy at L A Roadster show that had issues with his Roush - they wouldn't stand behind it - he had it torn down and it was nothing but a factory crate motor internally. So needless to say -- whether this was true or not (I believe it to be fact) I've had enough issues with '32 and wanted this build to be as trouble free as I could TRY to make it.
