Heck, I got to go the other way and say dump the flattie and put some real power in it!!!!!!! That 385hp 351W in the Ford SVT catalog comes to mind!!!!!

Don't pick on me guys, I've had my flattie powered car.... The kewlness of a flattie was overcome by being sooooooo slooooooow.... Sorry....

I agree Dave, but everyone should have the opportunity to drive a flattie powered fat Ford with a straight axle.

I'll take a pass on that one.

hey koulaide, good lookin car! im going with a weedetr (www.weedetrstreetrod.com) rear end kit for mine and my axle is out of an 01 explorer. for the front i plan on a posies front spring with a reversed eye, which was stated befor. theres a guy that will drop your axle for 200 plus shipping. i plan on using him, unless he seems like a real A-hole when i call him.
below is a pic of a buddy of mines 46 sedan with a 4 inch drop front axle with the posie reverse eye spring (worth an inch extra) up front. the rear is the standard eye weedetr kit with a 9 inch axle. weedetr offers a reverse eye rear spring kit which will lower the rear an additional 1.5 inchs. his engine is a lightly warmed over flathead backed by an m-21. no, its not fast. but it gets the job done and looks and sounds MUCH cooler than any crate engine you could get.
