For all to see, this is how to put a /6 in a '53 Ford. It does require several trial positionings of motor to see how it's going to fit best, and what needs to be done next. first the firewall needs a dent to clear starter, http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000099.jpg and a small notch in the pan to clear the frame cross member. plus a motor mount, http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000094.jpg also a motor mount for the other side http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000096.jpg I used a Volare radiator (cut 1/16" off each side flange to fit the radiator support). Next was the Offenhauser 4 barrel with Carter carb, http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000101.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000102.jpg Last but not least the construction of the equal length headers. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000102.jpg I also used the 904 transmission that is positioned to set on the original Ford crossmember with fabricated linkage to the Ford collum shift. the end result with a few other fairly simple things added give these results. http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000091.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000093.jpg http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j59/r ... 000092.jpg |

it had a V-8 flathead but the block had a real bad score in one of the cylinders, and those flatheads were notorious for overheating. The automatic transmissions were 3 speed, cast iron cases with air cooling. |
