new 32 ford project was started today

[black69]

my 32 made it to a friends garage/shop to get a 56 lincoln motor and trans today (and I gave him an open check to get the engine and trans hooked up, I don't have a shop or the knowledge, I will help a bit). the car was going to be 'kwizz buick blue' like his latest hotrod, but I think that would clash with the lincoln engine color. going to reverse the exhaust manifolds so I can save money buy customer headers.


what is puzzling to even the old hot rodder helping me, is the bell housing on that 56 lincoln is all aluminum and looks pretty cool. I never would have thought they would have used aluminum so early. Even the tail shaft on that huge heavy motor's trans is aluminum. learn something new everyday.

I hope to have the only 32 ford hotrod with a 56 lincoln motor. The valve covers made the choice easy.

going to hopefully learn how to weld a floor in, we will see how that goes. going to reverse the channeling and sit the body back up on its frame.

They actually made a pair of factory aluminum valve covers for the Lincoln motors. Extremely rare.

yep, the 56 lincoln mark II had them. same engine except for those valve covers. they attach the same way as these. I am surprized these did not leak a lot with only 2 bolts.

Perfect. Don't clean the motor or paint the car. Tuck and roll red sparkle Naugahyde interior and cruise. <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

Ken, you may regret posting this, I will need help I am sure. I think I got the right dimensions for locating the radiator centerline (13&quot; from the front spreader hole on the frame). We plan to locate the engine location today (all based on fan clearence to the edge of the thicker new hot rod radiator I got with the car, the previous owner gave me). then they can fabricate the engine mounts (which I have no clue yet on what they are thinking for that).

what worries me now is that old generator, will it hit the frame. should know soon.

the budget will dictate painting the car is the last thing I do. all I want to do is get it rolling to take for a cruise. I love the way the motor looks old, so no plans to paint anything yet.

I got a corvette big brake set up from an old vette with the finned drums, someday I want to put that on the front of this car, with the elephant ears on it. that should be 'different', kinda like the lincoln motor. I found out one downer with the Lincoln motor, its going to take a LONG time to find a vintage edmunds? dual quad setup for it. A single stock 4brl should be fine for a while.

Welcome to the world of Street Rodding.....where you don't expect anything to fit...But......If it does, you smile,If it doesn't ......you just see where it will fit and make it happen.......Enjoy......It's a wild ride, but when you are finished.....It's all yours as no two Street Rods are alike

I like the choice of the Lincoln engine. It has that 'big engine' sound to its name and will look great in there. &quot;What engine is in there?&quot; &quot;It's a Lincoln.&quot; Ford offered the Lincoln 430 in late-fifties squarebirds and it gave the car a muscular aura (even if it wasn't particularly muscular).

yep, that is cool, I appreciate it. (I keep getting sidetracked on all the other stuff on that website).

I am pondering this below. check out all the cool parts they have to sell, outside of this rare manifold, you will get caught in a black hole like i just did (lots of rare camaro/chevy muscle car parts, smog).

you just need to try harder. I used to drive a 92 vette (my only ride) with blizzak snow tires and if you can drive a white vette in chicago snow storms (to go see your girlfriend which later became your wife), you can do anything if you put your mind to it.

Just get some goodyear blizzacks and that 32 can get right back out there (ofcourse I am kidding). You would need a few cases of beer in the trunk for weight. love that car of yours, you get off easy on the chop job compared to me.

[black69]

so the engine was mocked up yesterday, it will use the stock engine cradle out of the 56 lincoln it came out of. I can't believe the generator cleared. Stock firewall obviously is going to get cut up some.
