Starting 37 Ford drivetrain upgrade
Hello, new to this forum. After many years of setting in the yard I'm going to start on my 37 Ford coupe. It was going to be a flathead old style hot rod with stock suspension, but have changed my mine.
Going to install late V8 (Ford or Chevy) with a parallel spring open drive line using 9" Ford rear end. Haven't decided on a front suspension but, for now I'll keep the 4" drop axle setup.
I'm open for any experiences anyone wants to share on selecting a engine and best manufactured rear end installation kit.
We’re still moving forward. With the engine placed I got the motor mount perches tacked on to the K member. Naturally the welder started screwing up but fortunately the K member will be coming out...
