Thread: 1957 ford custom coupe from the netherlands

Tweet

Nice Ford,
Think I've seen on another site. Dropped spindles are available. Put the rear shackles
back the proper way. I'd get the stance right before you buy wheels and tires.
Any FE will bolt in and will bolt to the Fordo with a F-1 convertor. I ran a Ford o matic
behind a 427 Ford and it held up fine. A C-6 will also fit with a little change on the
rear mount. Stock Rad will work also. May have to change the outlet location.
You'll ned headers or the flat manifolds. F.P.A. makes ready made headers for it.
I have a 429 in mine now.Pretty large engine. My car has had every kind of Ford motor
in it through the years. Have Fun
Ron

hi ron ,

thanks for the technical advise !!

we don´t have a lot of guys here in holland that know´s a lot of the old fords..

is it a problem iff we stay in touch so i can ask you some questions and guidance over the build since you dropped about every engine in your ranchero and suspension?

have you got some pics off your car ?

thanx already?
