Just for you Ron,





It has all of the wiring, pedals, etc that Ford usually charges an arm and a leg for. Hell, I might even keep the log manifolds. I Might have to go with a dry sump to be able to drop the engine a couple inches. The height from the bottom of the frame rail to the top of the hood is about 30"

I think the real reason Greg doesn't want to put a mod motor in a '32 is because he'd end up with a roadster so tall he'd have to use a step rail from an F350 to get in. These engines are stupid tall...like Rodger tall.

If I wasn't trying to build a car on a "budget" I'd build a Coyote 5.0 with a whipple and a forged bottom end. 650hp with the ability to happily rev to 7000rpm (or more) is just downright cool. There is also a company making a 351 stroker kit...
