    Yeah, and a darn awesome well proportioned T Bucket with a Chevy in it too. Interesting how I enjoy winding up some of those who are strict Fords in Fords but when I was building my Anglia I was looking out for a Ford Windsor engine for it but when I came across the 350 Chevy going for a song due to a messy divorce, I was in, and I can't sing. Before that I had always had Fords in Fords. My T Roadster came with a 350 Chevy so is staying that way.

    Hi, If the FMX gives you trouble, put at least a C-6 in. Some of the old FMX's run better than people give them credit. Good Luck.

    I agree, the FMX is highly under-rated by folks. Rebuild it and it should run for another 40 years.

    You can do the rebuild yourself.. it's pretty easy actually.

    I figure if the FMX can pulling a 74 full size Ford around, it can handle 38 tudor.

    It had a dual vac. modulator on it, but I put a single modulator on. I think the other vac. port has something to do with the egr valve. It's been 25 or 30 years since I rebuilt an automatic.

    You guys have some nice rides and projects.

    It's been way to many years but.. I "think" the other vacuum port aids in the downshift/upshift points when decelerating. I'd have to go do some research and verify that.. but I think that was the purpose.. I haven't touched a FMX since the mid 80's! LOL..

    Randyr still has a SBF in his 37 I believe. My 40 Tudor had a typical SBC/TH400. I was going to go with a ford power plant, but decided to go Hemi. Now it is powered by nothing. Haha I have had thoughts to going to a 390 or 460 ford, but I decided to just keep what I have since I have 80% most of what I need to get it at least running and driving. It's in the project list. Hopefully this winter is the winter of the 40. Besides, I can't keep anything brand specific. Everything I have has a dodge engine in it if you want to get down to the OEM branding.

    Hey Denny, I don't know how I missed this thread but since I've been referenced by 40Deluxe, I should probably chime in. I have a '37 tudor humpback that my dad & I built when I was in college. We went Ford in a Ford from the beginning using a 302/C4/9"rear ('57 Ford). It was a challenge to shoehorn everything in there but we did it. I didn't say it was pretty, but it was very functional. A few years ago I began another rebuild of the car. I kept the 302 (now warmed up a bit) but switched to 3 pedals with a T5 stick. While at it, I put in a recessed firewall, new floors, etc....one thing always leads to 1000 more! Ha! Anyway, hopefully, I'll get it finished one of these days!
    If money was no object, I think I would consider selling the 302/T5 and squeeze the new Coyote 5.0/6speed in there. I think that would be great fun!!
    Welcome to CHR! Look forward to seeing pics of your '38!

    C'mon big fella...........step up...........a decent take out for the Coyote only runs $10-12k. Dig up one of those cans you've got buried in the back yard!!

    If it would check out good that's a buy. I'd love to drop that into a '56 F-100..........
