    Kiwi37, new to here - but not to hot-rodding

     



    Hi all, just got told about this site tonight so thought I'd poke my nose in!

    In the deep south of NZ and building a '37 Ford coupe gasser-style, just in the early stage at the moment.

    Welcome, and hope you enjoy a long stay. Lots of American iron in NZ, and with the certification process to deal with they're built right.

    Balclutha isn't the DEEP SOUTH, that is Invercargill and then the saying was Bluff is the arsehole of NZ and Invercargill is 15 miles up it so I wonder what that makes Balclutha ?
    Welcome to the family here young man, an excellent group of knowledgeable guys only too keen to help out with information on how to remove Ford engines from Ford and replace with Chevies to make the Fords go quicker.

    I think you got it wrong regarding engine swaps there Mr W/L - I took the 350 out of the coupe and replacing it with a 460! :-)

    But thanks for the welcome anyway...
