So what do these numbers mean?
Short version: It means it's not stock. Also,they are running on a 1/8th mile track,not a 1/4 mile track.
That was a full 1/4 mile run - that truck is moving. Stop the video and read the ET slips at the end: 9.94 seconds at 137 mph. At the 1/8 mile was 6.39 at 111 mph.
pete just changed the oil in his ford fiesta, that makes him a mechanic (so he says) so he knows all about cars/engines/performance. just ask him he'll tell you.
I bought a 40 Ford tudor when I was 12. I have owned hot rod cars or motorcycles all my life. I have a 1800 square foot shop full of cars from the 30's and 40's,including an original 1932 Ford 5 window coupe with an original Dago dropped axle up front that was originally built in the late 40's. I bought it without an engine in it,and it now has a 412 SBC engine that is balanced and bolted together by a NASCAR speed shop (I have a friend that is a mechanic there)that has a fairly hot street cam,350 chevy rods in the 400 block,.060 overbore,Dart 2 heads,10 to 1 Keith Black flattop pistons with gapless rings,roller rockers,Pete Jackson gear drive,and dual AFB's on a 60's Edelbrock intake. I also have a 33 Plymouth coupe I am working on that is getting a 6 carb DeSoto hemi with a push-button 727,and a 34 Ford pu that is getting a dual quad 312 Ford. You?
E-Code with dual hump chrome air cleaner? Beautiful!
Yup!The breater is painted red,though. Came like that from the factory. I have seen the chrome ones too,but I think the owners had them chromed. Even have a pair of the original T-Bird finned aluminum valve covers,too. Believe it or not,but I found them on a engine in a junkyard,and bought them for 100 bucks or 150 bucks. Can't remember which at this late date. These things are beautiful when polished up. Got really lucky on the intake and carbs. A email friend I had never met told me he had a friend that had taken a E-Bird intake setup off his 57 T-Bird about 20 years ago and put it under his workbench,and if I was interested he would ask the guy if he still has it and how much he wants for it. The guy still had it,it had the original oval T-Bird air filter instead of the big oval passenger car filter,both teapot carbs,and the original linkage,and he told me the guy wanted $500 for it plus shipping,and asked me if I wanted it. I think I may have wet myself a little. I now have it sitting under MY workbench. Yeah,I know. I can buy a new Blue Magic single quad Y-Block intake that will outperform it,but it won't look as cool as the dual-quad E-Bird with the teapot carbs. BTW,you may not realize it,but you can now buy brand new aluminum heads and blocks for a Y-Block Ford,as well as stroker cranks. No,they aren't cheap,but if you have the bucks and want to screw with people by challenging them to run against your "stock 292 Y-Block",you can have a hell of a lot of fun with them. I also have a pair of Edsel stamped steel valve covers and a pair stamped "Mercury" that I can put on it to really confuse young people if I want. Those old Y-Block Fords were a LOT faster than most people think they were. A friend had one in a custom 300 from the factory when I was 14,and there were 6 of us in his car one night when we raced a dual-quad 283 Corvette on a long bridge. We just drove right away from him on top end. Plus,the old Y-blocks sound pretty nasty with glasspacks,too. Going to use a 3 speed + OD unit from a early 80's F-150 because it gives me overdrive,and because with the tall original shifter sitting in the middle of the hump,it will look like a 39 Ford trans in the truck. All I have to do is shorten the input shaft maybe 1/8th of an inch and drill two new holes in the top of the stock Y-Block bellhousing,and it will bolt right together. They are not the strongest transmissions in the world,but they are a lot tougher than a 39 Ford trans,and these days are a hell of a lot cheaper,too. I even bought a spare one for 100 bucks when it popped up locally. Don't plan on running the truck hard,but won't say I will never run it,either. Best to have a spare trans just in case.
Sweet!
That's the passenger car breather. The T-Bird breather has the two humps,but is more oblong than round so it will fit under the hood scoop of the 56 and 57 T-Birds. The T-Bird breathers are being reproduced if ya have the bucks,but AFAIK,nobody is repopping the big passenger car breathers,and they sell for stupid money to restorers.
Ok, I'd never seen this one before.
Yeah,that's the one. Mine is red,which I have been assuming was original,but that one looks to be "Ford Silver",so it's probably right. See that "trash can" gas filter up front? Make sure you are sitting down if you ever price one.
Pretty rare, I'd imagine. Probably easy to jerry-rig an alternative if you you don't care about keeping it stock.
Ok,I got it now. The next two photos are of the 32 as it sits in my shop today. The third one is of the rebuilt 350 I have to put in it. The engine in the photos is a junker 283 I pulled out of the weeds to use a a pattern to make the motor mounts,headers,trans mount, headlight mounts,and radiator mounts. The 6x2 intake on it is just sitting there and not even bolted down. I had it laying around,so I just sat it on the junker engine for grins. You can see part of my 33 Dodge 4dr in the background of one of the photos,and the rear of my 38 Ford "standard" 2dr "humpback sedan" in the other one
Cool, thanks! My Dad had a couple of 33 Dodges, I always liked the grills on those.
IMHO,the 33 Plymouths and Dodges were some of the most beautiful cars ever built. My Dodge sedan is getting a 251 DeSoto inline flat 6 with 3 carbs and a finned aluminum 10 to 1 head. Other than that,it is going to look just like you see it in the photo as I drive it around. That's original paint on that car.
Still got the mohair upholstery? That stuff was great, much nicer than the crap they use now.
The 33 Dodge sedan does. The 51 Victoria mostly had dust,torn seatcovers over the torn mohair,and springs. I was sitting in a hole with a spring poking me in the ass while driving down the road,so I had the seats in it reupholstered. I couldn't afford mohair,so I used more modern cloth and Naugahyde. I was getting ready to have the door panels and the headliner done when I started getting hit with the new medical bills,and had to stop. BTW,the 51 Victoria was the first year for a 2dr HT with Ford,and the first year for the automatic transmission for Ford. The truth is that is is really a convertible body with a top spot welded to it, The rear seat is the same as a convertible,and you can see the recesses where the top irons go when the convertible top is folded down in the second photo. Even the sun visors and the vent windows are "convertible only" items. This car rides and drives like a new 1951 now. Cruises along just fine at 60-65 mph,and I have no real desire to go any faster in it. Engine runs whisper quiet and doesn't smoke,and the Fordomatic shifts perfectly. I really took a chance on it when I bought it because there wasn't even a master cylinder on it when I bought it,and the car wouldn't move when I put it in gear. On top of that,the oil pressure gauge showed 0 oil pressure and the engine smoked and "ticked" a little. Got it home and the oil pressure jumped up to 45 psi at idle after I put a new oil pressure sending unit in the engine,and the transmission went into gear and shifted perfectly after I poured 4 quarts of ATF in it. It had been sitting for maybe 10 years.
