1934 Ford Pickup - First Time's A Charm
|
Eric spent a lot of time and effort on his traditional powerplant. It took three blocks to come up with a solid foundation-a '51 239 he bored 0.125 over and fit with a '51 Merc 4-inch-stroke crank, Ross pistons, an Isky cam, valves, and springs. The rare (at least for us down here in the good old U.S. of A.) aluminum Canadian cylinder heads help pump compression up to 10.5:1 for a powerful but high-test slurping flathead. Eric also fabricated adapters, allowing him to utilize a Chevy 409 water pump in place of the dual Ford units with which it was originally equipped. He then backed it with an old Ford top-loader four-speed. View Related Article
