1940 Ford Tudor Build Thread

Looks like you're using a good portion of the recessed firewall now

The carbs/distributor clearance is sure tight but looks like it does give you enough room for everything. It will be interesting to see what you decide on for air cleaner(s).

It does look good in there!!!! Fess up....how much time have you lost just standing back and looking at it ?

OOOOOOOoooooo... there's many keyboards around the country with drool all over them right now!! 8-)


Not sure if it helps but the round part just above the flange at the bottom of the header looks like an inch maybe an inch and a half could come out and it would add some clearance?
Just thinkin' out loud...

But it'll look bad-ass! 8-)

Mike, you must be reading my mind. My plan is to cut them above the tag they welded on there and then add the v band there. That should be about perfect then.

Love seeing that Hemi in there !

Thanks. I can't wait until it's all painted up and looking nice.

I have a plan to use 4 lawn mower deck belt gaurds and I'm going to build a bat wing type air cleaner similar to the Cadillac ones. I was searching dual quad air cleaners and I wasn't seeing anything that I really liked. (In my price range) I kind of thought about making some like the imperials had, but that really isn't the look I want. I've kind of threw out the idea of the T/A scoop for now. If I found another hood, then maybe I'd do that. But for now, I can't bring myself to cut the hood just yet.

The carb to distributor clearance is tight. I have to put a 1" spacer under the carbs to get the back carb up away from the distributor cap. They just haven't arrived yet.

I've spent some time looking at it for sure! Haha Trying to get it centered in there, and placed so it looks right in there. It's my background on my computer too.
