Thread: FFR 33 Ford Hot Rod

Tweet

The roof is a direct fit. Factory Five Racing designs and builds it as part of their kit, though an option. Their 33 Ford is channeled and chopped so the fitment is specific to the vehicle. We will do some fiberglass work to ensure really tight fitting but I also intend to maintain the ability to shift it back to Roadster mode by removing the top, hood and side skirts. We think it will take about 30 minutes to remove/install the top. I was surprised that adding the roof, hood, and side skirts changed the appearance so much. Really makes the whole car look smaller oddly enough. Currently I have a mild Chevy 350 in it with a flat tappet cam. Dynos 300/323. I have a 6.0 liter LS standing by but have considered a roots style blower, forged internals, and a roller cam plus aluminum heads to bring it up. the Car weighs about 2500 lbs with me in it. I am guessing 500-600 wheel horsepower is about all it is going to handle well. Currently I have a TK-45 5 speed manual with a hydraulic clutch and a Ford 8.8 rear with a 4 link and a 3.73 gear. I have double adjustable QA1's all around it.
