ford flatty powered fiat?
I admit to it, ive got more projects than I know what to do with. Though I was just told to get rid of my 69 fiat 124 sport ragtop since "youre not doing anything with it". Well she blew a headgasket?, well anyway theres no oil pressure and oil in the water and the carb was messed up before the motor popped.
So I was looking around the garage and I do happen to have a good 50 ford 8ba flatty sittin there with a 3spd with o/d out of a 53 merc next to her. I figured I could try to shoehorn it in there. The only problem I have is that ill have to reccess it at least 4 inches into the firewall and then linkage will be a royal pain in the butt. Im unsure if ill have to beef up the stock ifs.
Anyone got any ideas on this one?
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
