1930 Ford Model A Gasser Hot Rod

1930 Ford Model A Description:

This car is styled to resemble the 60's gasser. It is reliable and street driven. Highway friendly. Complete Build. Frame off.

FRAME: Front suspension consists of : Stock axle (now drilled), new stock spring/bushings, new round-back spindles from Speedway with new kingpins/bushings. Fully boxed frame. A disc brake kit, also from Speedway has been installed. Bones were obviously split and converted with ford tie-rod ends.

Dagels "Super X" crossmember kit along with their boxing plates and brake master mount / pedal kit.

TRANSMISSION Level 2 - 700R4 straight from Bowtie Overdrives

Weiand tunnel ram, Eddy 500 carbs,

ENGINE: 383 balanced rotating assembly. Scat cast crank, .040" forged pistons, 6" long H-beam rods, thick flex plate and "400" balancer. The block came from ATK out of Texas, all machined and ready to assemble. It's a factory "roller" block, but it also has the provisions for a mechanical fuel pump. The factory "4 bolt main" bolts were swapped out to Milodon bolts.

'Howards' hydraulic roller cam was installed along with a 'Cloyes' billet steel timing set, specifically made for a factory roller block. Aluminum cover and the 7quart pan - proceed to paint.

The rear main seal is Fel-pro's flouro-elastomer. The oil pump is a Melling high volume. Every fastener is aftermarket, as is nearly every part of the entire assembly. The only stock items are the block (modified), the water pump (modified), the valve covers (GM authorized re-pops), and the distributor (modified with a Crane XRI electronic ignition). I guess the lifters (new GM factory hydraulic rollers) and the fuel pump push rod are about it.

Steering is all new Vega box / Speedway column.

Profiler performance aluminum heads. Spec's are: 195cc intake runners, angled spark plugs, 72cc combustion chamber, 2.05 x1.60 valves. I went with the 72 chambers because it set the compression ratio at 10:5.1.

Heads bolted down with ARP bolts and Fel-pro head gaskets.

'Action Machine' made the drive shaft. I've had them make me one before. They do nice work for a nice price. 1350 series non-greasable u-joints (stronger than greasable) mated to 24 inches of 3" diameter steel tube.

Front wheels = Circle Racing 15" x 4.5" (standard backspace - 2") polished kidney bean

Rear wheels = American Rebel 15" x 10" (standard backspace - 4.25") polished sprint.

I will answer another questions you have.
