Thread: My 64 Ford Custom Project

Tweet

Had an unexpected day off today, so after it warmed up a bit I decided to get the front end of the FE put together. A friend donated a set of pulleys to the project, so I picked up a water pump, fuel pump alternator and dug around and found a set of low mount alternator brackets. Everything went real smooth until I started to install the alternator. I'm using an early (pre-62) 352 block which didn't have the hole for the alternator pivot bolt. Fortunately there is enough of a boss there to drill and tap the hole so that was a simple fix.

I should get around to ordering the radiator and Pretonix kit for the distributor later this month so it's getting a little closer to running. The new headers for the HEMI for the 37 Dodge came in today, so I'll likely get that finished up and on the test stand before I get back to the Ford
